Olympic's opening ceremony, AWSOME!!!!!

[Jeff Murphy]

Probably about 15k. The Renaults rev to about 19k on the track. Honda the same. All on super refined 98 octane. It's VERY loud in person - either at the start when 20 cars all unload their launch control or when one car is doing donuts 40 ft away:

Saaawwweeeeeeett.

Now that is what a car should sound like! The sound sends shivers down my spine. I remember going to the Montreal F1 for the first time, it's more of a sound experience than anything else.

We had to walk over the track on a covered bridge and the cars were downshifting going into a corner. It felt like you were being shot from the unburned fuel burning out the back end.

The shreik of them under acceleration and especially at the shift point.

Unreal

Boys that is the epitome of automotive engineering.
