The video and sound was better then than today.

because the revs go up when you change down

@tech9803 If they did have F1 races there'd have to be a lot of changes to the track (Gravel traps extended) track made longer,etc. I don't know if the owners have the money to do it and also the track is right next to a motorway so I don't know if they'd get the planning, especially with the forests and residents surrounding it too

@oddjobjujitsu ...Yeah same here,i love watching f1 on a sunday afternoon sitting down with my beef dinner but you cant beat the old f1 in the 70's and 80's for entertainment!!

Brands Hatch is a nice-looking circuit with an interesting layout. Too bad they don't still have F1 races here instead of the sterile, boring new tracks.

This is a McLaren? It sounds like a V12. Did McLaren test a V12 in 1979? Could they be doing something funny with the exhaust, like using 180 degree headers?

[oddjobjujitsu]

now this is what a real F1 car should sound like.....manual gear changes with a clutch ....i love F1 but today is is just so sterile....no real passion ....i miss cars with low down force and big tires and lots of mechanical grip.....

ed il sonoro da dove arriva?

[SGOMMINO71]

Ma i nuovi "PILOTI" sanno che cosa significa fare una scalata con doppietta (punta/tacco)? saprebbero guidare senza servosterzo? senza controllo di trazione? con un cambio che buca il palmo della mano destra?
