Sweet video of Renault F1 engine

Yes. Wonderful sound. Like Mozart on a rampage. You can see how the injectors mist over the throttle openings. Red hot exhaust manifold. Wonderful piece of engineering.

Woah.....

160db and FC @ 70L/100km ...

 

That means each car will require at least 200+L of fuel per race?!?

Yeah, the sound is amazing. And completely unbelieveable live - I was at Sepang some years ago, and I cannot imagine anyone not getting excited by just being there. Oh, the neccesity of earplugs

FC @ 70L/100km ...

 

Consider also that they have nearly TEN TIMES the power of a normal 1.6 litre engine (from only 3 litres, mind you), and being used (abused) at full stretch for two hours, without a break. I'd say it's pretty darn good FC...

 

btw, my 99hp car went to the track, and returned something like 20L/100km for the session. It normally does 8L/100km. Don't mistake trak FC for normal driving.
