Gotheschu 1 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 You weren't following F1 when they were V10 Jack? Absolutely insane sound they made, never been as good since Been following it since 99. Schumacher til the end brother! Was at the 2003, 04 and 2010 Gps. V10s did sound insane but the V8s of the last few years are still an absolute spectacle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 started getting into it, but not enough action for me. much rather watching a bunch of bogans in low budget (in comparison to F1) falcodores. F1 sounds cool though.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All be it a 2.4 V8 but a V8 is a V8. Edited January 11, 2012 by Gaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Why Honda? Would think of all the engine manufacturers in F1, Renault would have the upper hand TBH, they already run Renault Turbo 4's in GP3 and are already working on the next gen GP2 and F1 engines, of all manufacturers they have the most turbo experience, hell they were the first to originally go turbo! Mercedes have a long history with forced induction and all their roads cars will be Turbo before we know it. I think of the current crop Ferrari are going to struggle the most with Turbo technology. Will be interesting to see anyways. 2009 and 2010 were great but last season was a bit dull, lets hope 2012 is a good one!

Will be interesting to see anyways. 2009 and 2010 were great but last season was a bit dull, lets hope 2012 is a good one! I think historically, Honda have made the better turbo engine! Comparing GP3 to F1 is like comparing apples to oranges due to regulations, differences etc, remembering when F1 were using turbos they were V6 1500cc turbos putting out up to and over 1000kw! If Turbos ever come back to F1 (More than likely will never happen again) every manufacturer is going to be on the back foot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 They are coming back next year AFAIK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 Year after, 2014. Should be interesting! Fair point on all of them being on the back foot, of the top manufacturers I would like to think Renault would be quite good at building a Turbo engine given their history with Turbo's but as you say they will all be starting with a blank sheet. That's why F1 is awesome, its a test to show who are the best engineers in the world. Personally I would like to see Renault clime to number one engine builder of all time, looking at the fact they only started in the late 70's they are already the best manufacturer based on time in the sports, they should be in second place behind Ferrari after this season.

I would have thought that Cosworth would have been top of that tree... 155 wins from 262 races in the 18 years between 1967 and 1985!!! And it's hard to beat BRM's V16 for pure F1 noise!

And it's hard to beat BRM's V16 for pure F1 noise! Just a wee copy from wiki: 1-Italy Ferrari - 217 2-United States Ford - 176 3-France Renault - 142 4-Germany Mercedes-Benz - 88 5-Japan Honda - 72 So would have to think that Ferrari is top of the tree Like Apex said, if turbos are to return to F1 (which Bernie E and also Ferrari are pushing hard against) i'd think that Renault are definitely the likely front running engine, due to their already large turbo programme but could never write off the other big manufacturers and their $$ getting the job done.
