Again: best sounding race car I've ever heard. The LMS Corvettes are beyond brutal and right up my street. Much nicer than the high-pitched Ferrari wail. The overrun is just happy3

I'd agree whole- heartedly.
In any list of 'best sounds you've ever heard' must be a 'Vette short- shifting up the Mulsanne during LM 24 night driving

Fair point- try this as a consolation prize. Oliver Gavin on board- and no commentators!

It's the physicality of the noise that always shocks me when I go and watch GT racing; the bass from it really resonates. Brilliant.

Nice, but my vote regarding favourite "noice" is still on the BRM V16. Brutal!

I knew the BRM had won something, but couldn't remember what! After a quick Google, I came up with this -

1953 Albi Grand Prix:
Heat 1
Fangio 1st
Wharton 2nd
Gonzalez 5th
Final
Gonzalez 2nd
Fangio Retired
Wharton Retired

Still think that for me the BRM has the most evocative engine sound...

Real shame that they couldn't sort it
