Never heard a Formula 1 car for real. Fucking amazing. That's all that needs to be said about it.

Great day out.
i went to the test day last week with BMW/Dell.

Fuck me those cars are LOUD, and FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST.

I've never seen anything move or stop that quickly. Rediculous. Smile

And given that it was loud with just a handful of cars on the track, i dread to think how loud a whole grid of cars would be. Icon_eek

I wasn't so much impressed with the top speed, didn't look that fast but the QUICK corners (Club, end of start finish etc) was amazing to see, just sticking to the road. the noise was out of this world. 20 of them on the track was something else.
Changing down gears Icon_eek awesome sound. Tons of unburnt fuel exploding.
Falcon
Fushara

That's the one I went to. Schumacher won the race whilst coming in to serve a penalty in the pit-lane.

Yeah, it's something that doesn't come through on the TV but is noticeable at the circuit isn't it?

Nah Donington from 2010 apparently.
is it, oh, thought i heard it was the last year f1 was at silverstone. dosen't 2010 sound so futuristic, or is that just me getting old???

never cared much about formulas but maybe seeing em live would be a different story, anyways kimi lol gtfo Grin
went to the race weekend in Montreal, Canada about 3 weeks ago.
