Gentlemen, turn your volume to eleven, please.

Judd? Hmmm, revs too high and wails too much for my, simple, tastes. 🤷‍♂️

I like every one of them! The incredible diversity of engine sounds is part of the endless fascination of racing cars for me.

Agree entirely. Everything from single-pot 2-strokes, through to the spine-tingling wail of the BRM V16, via assorted Edwardian monsters, a squillion motorcycles of varying layouts, tearing calico Bugatti straight-8s, aero engines without number, pushrod and OHC V8s in all their incarnations, rotarys, radials, the uncanny mechanical silence of sleeve-valve eccentricities, oil-engined tractors and stationary engines, even Honda's utterly pointless oval-pistoned brainfart, I love 'em all. And every one (with the possible exception of that Honda) is/was a valid solution to the particular problem the designers faced, under the particular circumstances when they faced it.

Spot on !

It ALL sounds better than the glorified electric milk floats that are being thrust upon us.
