    the screaming engines we all love

    “we all”? I don’t. It’s bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with race action. On TV you cannot experience it at all and live it’s just damaging the ears, making hearing protection absolutely necessary. Also, the rumbling gets old quite soon. After a few laps it’s just there and nothing special at all.

    That engine noise fetish is a marketing ploy by the fossil fuel lobby. In motorsport entertainment, the on-track action has to be good. That’s it and that’s 100% unrelated to noise.
