@brokenpleasefix Yes, the Ford-Cosworth DFR V8.

@brokenpleasefix Yep. 1988 was their first year of exclusive use of the 3.5L Ford DFV engine.

i just can't get enough of this vid the sound the pros driving these beasts using heel-toe downshift and the cars just slide slide slide. 3:30 - 3:47 shit that's loud! :D

I would love to see these old cars in action again someday, F1 cars from the period 1985 - 1995 are my all-time favourites.
