When I saw the title of this post I thought if he hasn't declared the Mazda then I was going to be straight in................

All race cars should sound like this!

I have to disagree, nothing matches the BRM V16:

Oh that’s a fair challenge Duncan and it is right up there but I believe he Mazda edges it all week and twice on a Sunday for me but a good shout.

How could you Duncan! at least the R787b finished a race and won something significant. :lol:

We were only talking about the noise :lol:

The only trouble with the V16 is that the car it was fitted to was so bad, the drivers only dare keep their foot down for short periods. But that wailing sound when it's fully on song makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time, and the Mazda doesn't quite do it for me.
