F1 Engine Sounds, 1989, Montreal
Listen to these beautiful F1 engine notes! This recording is taken from the pit wall at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada during prequalifying for the Grand Prix.
Prequalifying is an old F1 institution when too many teams wanted to race and some of them had to prequalify just to participate in qualifying and the race! Of course, the cost of running an F1 team was much cheaper in those days.
This short clip shows a number of cars roaring over the start finish line and braking at the first corner.
In fact, although the engine notes are sweet as the cars pass by the camera, I actually prefer the roaring as the cars downshift under braking. Simply incredible and I have never heard something so amazing.
