Drop Every little thing and Hearken to This V-10 Method 1 Automotive

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated earlier this week that Method 1 ought to take into account switching again to V-10 energy, seeing as how the collection will quickly run solely on artificial fuels. We could not agree with him extra. The V-10 period of F1 introduced a few of the best-sounding automobiles on the planet, and quite a lot of wonderful racing. Not totally satisfied? Let the sound of this Ferrari sway you.

This F310B was raced by seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher to a number of victories all through the 1997 season. Not content material to see the automobile rot away in storage, the automobile’s present proprietor, 80-year-old Erich Zech, makes use of it to compete within the BOSS GP championship, a collection the place principally rich drivers can train their priceless classic open-wheelers.

The ALwinSV YouTube channel caught the automobile lapping at TT Circuit Assen within the Netherlands, with Zech on the wheel. Any multi-million-dollar race automobile is a sight to behold, however this one is extremely particular, thanks partly to the noise. We’re given the reward of 16,000 rpm on the straights, and fire-tinted backfires galore. Even should you’re not into racing, you may love this noise.

It is unlikely Method 1 will convey again V-10 engines, even with Sulayem’s strategies. Whereas we’re unhappy to see ten-cylinder machines relegated to the previous, we’re glad house owners like Zech choose to maintain them operating for us all to see, relatively than stashed away.
