Formula 1 Barcelona Testing Video

Here's a vid of some Formula 1 cars testing this past week in Barcelona. It's amateur footage so it's a little bit shakey, but not too bad really.

You get a good impression of the sound of the new V8s, and it's not all that great I'm afraid. :rolleyes:

They all sound a little bit, I dunno, "whiney". Not quite the same piercing, savage sound of the old V10s. The McLaren especially sounds a bit weedy, with the Ferrari having probably the most impressive engine note.

Thankfully they're still all BLOODY LOUD though! :eek: :D

Enjoy :)

Great video for amateur footage. Thanks for sharing it!! I can't wait to watch McLaren, Ferrari and Renault battle it out this year!

Great preview. That mercedes motor in the McLaren sounds so whimpish...

hmmm doesn't seem to work for me, anyone else having trouble loading it??
