  • Try standing at the exit of Copse Corner when the race starts and 20 of them go by- it is absolutely amazing.

  • Yes! I have been to several GPs but only F1 testing at Silverstone itself. I'd like to see a GP ther but After Belgium I will never give F1 any more money until they get rid of Mosely and all the corrupt FIA cronies!!

  • holy shit! is it louder than a gun? i know it's a stupid question,but i never had the luck to experience it :(

  • yes, it's as loud and probably even louder when screaming at 19k rpm! :)

  • They were probably at their loudest around 2005, when they still had V10's revving over 20,000RPM. I've heard both live at Grand Prix before and the V10s were better, it was like a wall of sound passing straight through your body.

  • Grosjean? Surprised he didn't spin it.

  • @finch9899 v10's never revved up to 20,000 rpm.

  • @finch9899 oh yea sry i just found that out on google. 20,000 rpm with the v10 is fucking unbelievable

  • @Crazyalbokid1 No, the V8s came in for the 2006 season. This is a V10.

  • @finch9899 2004 were the loudest 2005 were v8

  • I have been at every spanish gp since 2004, when there were still the v10's, and every gear change explosion of the cars hit you in the chest like bullets, and when the cars are passing you can not talk with anyone even shouting at the ear and when the race finishes you ears are hurting all the day.

  • @MrCricket90 That's incredible! I know these cars are extremely loud, but I didn't know that that was possible!

  • I live 8 miles away from silverstone .. and if it was a still summers day or the wind was right i could here them. this was when it was the V10's btw.

  • @koenf1

    The frequency of the valves opening and closing itself is within the audible range of the human ear. Around 1600Hz close to the rev limiter on the V10's. 1400-1500 for the V8's.

  • f1 = 130 db

    top fuel dragster = 150 db

  • never had a clue they were this loud
