Growl of a wild beast!
No matter what brand and if car, motorcycle, plane or boat: their engines sounded breathtaking in these (good old?)years!

I was there at Donington that day for the Richard Seaman Trophy - it was fantastic. The smell was almost as impressive as the noise. Whew.

This and the BRM-V16 are the best racing cars of all time! i have more of a blast watching these beautiful racing cars then watching todays f1 its so much more exiting!!

This is the best race car ever build! First time I saw that machine it was in Prague museum - so beautiful and dangerous that I couldn’t stop taking pictures of it. Cant imagine how racers made over 300 with it. Kokpit is so tini and there is no floor at all… just frame and pedals. Now I know how it sounds and its really something that only being there can describe. I can’t imagine feelings of people in 30s! Unbelievable! So talented non compromise constructors!

what a wonderful sounding Mercedes !

It is fascinating how much you can hear the technical development in the sound...race engines were already seeing the benefit of better metals, better fuels, higher compression, higher rev' speed....the advance brought to the industry in exchange with the aero industry. The 1920's racecars sound more truck like, slower reving. The sound of modernism began to creep in just before the war.
