I don't normally watch Youtube links, but I just spent half an hour watching some of VisioRacers posts = flip, some cool stuff.
Then I got side tracked watching giant antique Diesel engines too

Porsche 917 flat 12. Oh mumma, what a noise!

Nicest sounding race engine I ever heard was an Aston Martin DBR9 = WOW, just WOW

Mind you, a proper 1980's UR10 Quatro getting some stick up a Welsh mountain rally dirt track in the dark is hard to beat. "Banshee wail" comes to mind

i had a 1983 and '85 ur quattro, best sounding car I've ever owned.

Wish I had been at Le Mans in the mid- 80's to early 90's.
Jag V12, Porsche flat 6, Aston V8, Mazda rotary, Sauber/Merc V8, Peugot V10... all so distinctive sounding.

There used to be a guy down the road from us that specialised in these. Van Nerop I think his name was. He had a beauty, full kinda race / rally spec mechanically, but with a gorgeous leather interior with the digifant dash

There was a demo of the Group 5 Sports Cars at Goodwood last weekend. Derek Bell was driving one of them.

Flat 12 engine (running)

My ears still hurt !!

The lads told me that Goodwood Members daywas chuffin' freezing this year!

Post by **Whitevanman** » 26 Mar 2016, 22:14

It was chuffin freezing and a couple of bad accidents tainted the day. There were a couple of T25s in the forward viewing, one had an Ottinger rear bumper. Would have stopped to say hello but needed to keep walking to avoid hypothermia!

I havent checked out the coverage as yet. Oettinger rear bumper?
