1986 Lotus 98 TT Formula 1 NOISE!

I try not to film racing cars, in fact I never do but when I heard this beauty I just had to share the awesome noise with you.

This is Ayrton Senna's 1986 Lotus 98 Formula One car which has a twin-turbo Renault V6 engine that produces an astonishing 1300bhp! 1300bhp in a car that weighs about 750kg!

The noise is great. The camera does not do it justice on how LOUD it was. The first run is shown where the driver is warming up the tires and then after some pictures the final run is recorded where you can hear the engine bouncing off the rev limiter and the engine popping and crackling from the heat.

Awesome machine. Filmed at La Vie En Bleu at Prescott Hillclimb 2009.

Senna was as if made for the turbo era and was one of the few drivers who could qualify these insanely powerful turbo beasts!
