While we await the transition from V8 to turbo 6, so does F1. With similar "concerns"
From an article in Autosport:

Those had the 180 degree 12 cyl engine, but 1989-1995 was a V12 with 65-75 degree V. After that it was V10 and then V8. My memories are of the V12 engines that Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger drove, those engines sounded sweet |

Yeh the Berger/Alesi V12's were epic too. Have you ever listened to a 1950's BRM V16 soundtrack, now THAT is a glorious sound. |

Yes, one of the all time great racing engine sounds. One of my favourites are the Ford Cosworth BDA engine in a rally Escort. That induction noise is just awesome

Sound is definitely important in F1, this transition to a V6 turbo will definitely be a challenge to make it sound good. Especially where the exhaust is bunged up with the turbocharger. Imagine "if ever" F1 will transition to a diesel engine.... I can't imagine that day. |
