They don't sound like that any more kids.

Most beautiful curve of all F1 circuits!

In Adelaide in 1986, when the first engine fired up on the Friday morning, you could hear it all over the city. Every single person stopped dead in their tracks and turned to listen. Stunning sound.

It's impossible to not enjoy these engine sounds.

[GB-vntf]

That's one of the finest sounds F1 ever produced now just a memory.

0:08 The sound of F1 cars accelerating half a mile away was more spine tingling than a current F1 car going past only feet away now. I miss those days. They sound like hedge trimmers now.

This Amatuer Videos are the best one.
Because you can hear whats going on in the Reality.
In the TV the Cars are mute to 5%.

I've never seen an F1 race live, I'm depressed I'll never hear that sound

[CaptainAlbatross]

I was there at Kemmel Straight, so excited to see my hero Fernando Alonso for the first time... Well, it was an awesome 5 seconds. Fantastic experience though, my first F1-race. Been there again in 2015 and even though the racing hasn't changed the sound does make a huge difference. It's still loud enough to put earplugs in, but the hellraising, excruciating, eardrum-piercing noise those things made in 2012 was almost a holy experience to witness live.

This one video has completely changed my view on the v6 engines we have now, that was amazing.

[speedypaul]

In 2005 I was sitting right at the bottom of eau rouge about 1-2 meters away from the cars. My first F1 experience. Still gives me chills today. You first hear them arrive at the start/finish straight after blanchimont then the ground starts to shake before you see them arrive at la source. I remember the local word for driver is pilot. That really stayed with me. These guys are pilots not drivers.... AWESOME !

Sound sent shivers down my spine. Actually prefer the V8's over the 3.0L V10's. New engine sounds aren't the problem. I dig the lower-pitched turbo growl. It's just not loud enough.

[ZippyThePinhead]

I'm 10 yrs late to the party, but your view of Eau Rouge is spectacular. Love the old engine sound better than what their running now.

[chuckyboy]

That first lap is a rush, all 20+ cars screaming past in a group. My last time at Spa was 2001, we were sat at blanchimont but the sound of the engines through Eau Rouge and up the kemmel straight was incredible, echoing through the trees it sounded like a huge swarm of killer wasps.

[swimdeep]

Just found this perfect piece of footage.. Forget the television. If you've never been to an F1 Race, this 52 seconds is as near as you will ever get to experience it.

[mrpoker]

Sick, it gave me chills watching! Nice footage! If I ever make it to Spa, that is exactly where I want to be standing for the race!!!

[michaelsummerell]

That just sent a shiver down my spine. I'm watching that again!

[JonathanAllen]

Leave it to YouTube to wait over 8 years to show this in my suggested videos. When I think of the thousands of hours I've spent on here over the years and they're just showing this to me now? This makes me emotional. What a thing of beauty!😭😍

[thomasvanasperen]

0:07 “Who is that?!” We all know who that is; lord Maldonado 😂

[jasonstevenson]

Incredible sound. Love the reaction by the guy in the audio. Really drives home the atmosphere of the occasion.
