F1 Turbo - The most scary race cars ever (Feel the torque)

Brilliant footage of formula 1 driver Johnny Dumfries in the 98T Renault F1 Turbo John Player Special. On the circuit in Adelaide he is in 11th place. Listen to the torque of this remarkable Renault F1 engine. You can "feel" the power when you turn up your speaker volume. Nothing is compared to the real thing obviously.

These drivers were genuine heroes with no fear at all and a big big heart. Listen to the engine noise and look at the skills the driver need to have to keep this beast on the road. These engines had up to 1400 Bhp.

Even though I'm a newcomer as an F1 fanatic, i want those good old risky days back especially the manual stick shifts and V10's... :)

@formula1nh Welcome!

Great video, wow those cars must have been a handfull, great Adelaide track too, if i remember rightly Senna's had his last victory there at the end of the 93 season

@1679peter Thanks!

@dandectis ...or atmospheric V8s but yea V10 weren't used there

[dandectis]

@formula1nh in that era they were Turbo V6, not V10.

@REASAND5 I'm a big F1 fan but I have to agree, Group B Rally was on the brink of insane, hence why people died and the FIA stopped it.

@LouieGee How can you know that ? who knows ? if you put Vettel in the Senna's car, maybe he could beat his times lap ^^ but of course you ill think the contrary because Senna died so he is a god... Senna was a great driver like a lot of drivers before. But the pilots todays are very good too.

wow your right hand was technically always on the gear lever.

[REASAND5]

Group B was wayyy more scary!

@ActionEHamshraershV Oh, I just notice, you were refering the new engines would have still more half the cylinders than the one´s i was talking about. My bad :). Still did not understand if you wanted more cylinders or less on the new turbo engines... Anyway. My bad on the previous coments if your coments intention was as i realised right now.

[Tuscopa]

@ActionEHamshraershV And I still believe they are planing on mounting V6s turbos, 1.6. So, actually if this figures apear on todays cars, tey will be higher than the numbers the cars from this video had back then :).
