So I was washing my car this morning and I can hear the sweet sounds of the F1 cars. Maybe they are practicing. I can't wait to hear the drifters later on today. So sad I can only listen =\

 

They aren't F1 cars, it's the Champ Car series. Regardless, I'm sure they sound sweet but I'd imagine a real F1 car at 19000 RPM would be a sound one wouldn't forget.

 

^ oh ok sorry Champ Series Cars. Still sounds crazy....

 

that's not as sad as my co-worker. he has TICKETS for today, but has to work.

 

it is sweet sounding...definitely distracting me from work cuz i keep running to the window to watch.

 

Looking at the schedule, there is a special event called F1x2 which has accompanied the Champ Car series this year. The F1x2s are 2 seat F1 cars for taking people at race speed around the track. The first session was this morning at 9:40, so that is what the OP may have heard. The cars are 700+ hp Minardi F1 cars. Whereas Minardi were not exactly top of tyhe F1 field, they are still extremely fast cars.

 

haha, i remember last year i left work from my apartment on 4th street (3 blocks or so from the track) and drove to work off of capital and i can still hear the cars.... like bees buzzing around.

 

I stand corrected...that would be badass to get a ride in one of those.....

 

I can hear it from my house, the buzzing woke me up! :O

 

I'm listening to KIOI on the internet, and they keep saying they're live from the races, but the noise in the background sounds fake...I dunno.

I'd love to be there to check that **** out!

 

^ I don't hear anythng at the moment....

 

cool

i here F1 sounds every night being next to a freeway onramp with the liter bikes getting on...its awesome

yay drifting! lets make sure theres a CHP on every mountain road by 2010 (smart *** smiley)

 

Champ Cars don't sound great at all. The turbo F1 cars from the 80s sound different and much better imho.

Todays F1 cars are pure sex... amazing machines!

 

yah someone told me already.

Its still something I don't hear everyday so still gets me excited.

 

seriously... can you imagine being a passenger in a car doing 160+mph through the downtown - you'd never need to go to a theme park again
