Formula One 2014

F1 just lost me after 20 years.Sounded like a track full of VG30 nissans.The most boring race ever.

[Nee-san]

Upping the rev limit is at least one thing they can do.

[tweety bird]

They'd still only use 12000rpm...

[Roy]

Pretty simple...give them external gates for boost regulation rather then the mhu doody-wackers

[89CAL]

Screamer pipes everywhere

[GTR-N1]

...Sounded like a track full of VG30 nissans.

Insult to VG30s

[sh@un]

3.0L V12's at 20,000rpm. They'd make a noise to put hair on your chest hair

#wecandream...

[89CAL]

Honestly, I wasn't that bugged by 6pm Sunday about the noise. I did get used to it

However it doesnt sound like the pinnicle of motorsport. The V8's etc just sounded so unique and amazing. They really made it sound like 'these are the best engines in racing today'

I won't stop watching or following because of this though. The racing is good just a shame the noise is missing

[Missileman]

Seriously the mazda celebrity race had more action and sounded better!

Ferrari, Lotus, Williams need to pull out of f1, Just to show dad (Bernie) who's boss. wakes up Bernie!

Bernie wants them to be loud..... I read an article about how he is doing all he can to bring some noise back into the sport not long after I posted before

The blame is with the FIA from what I can tell

They need to bring back re-fueling, stop banning/changing aero rules and fix the engine problem

[MatthewT85]

yeah from what i remember bernie doesnt have anything to do with the engine changes and was concerned last year that it wouldnt sound good,

and yeah the other day he was saying something if possible something had to be done after a couple of races

Exhaust restrictions? They come straight out of the turbo out a pipe thats less then a metre long. The turbo is whats making them quiet

[JAS-25T]

can't go higher revs, they'll use to much fuel.

[sav man]

they need more gate

[JAS-25T]

I'm sure I heard they don't use a wastegate...

[chus13]

they need more gate

+1

If they sounded like the turbos of the '80's I don't think that anyone would be complaining, I love listening to that era's turbo cars. Instead we have Formula Prius.

I'm sure I heard they don't use a wastegate...

Yeah there is no wastegate

[PN-Mad]

RBR said they still had a wastegate for safety of the motor, but apparently it's not a necessity because of the energy generation motor attached to the turbine. Doesn't really matter.

Still sound like wet farts.

Get the old cars out the sheds and turn some wheels.

[Plattsy]

just got sent this. i luled.

[MatthewT85]

yep wastegate for 'safety' mode
