well lets put it this way: 3rd row from the track, tribune(#22 on Montreal track ,dont know if that is constant) located on a straightaway just after full turn so they accelorate out of the turn and of to the straighway. i didnt have the earplugs. it felt like a jet passing sound barrier. one car passing was barable, but when its 6-8 of them with 10th of a second apart from each other it was painfull. i thought i'm gonna bleed from my ears

SLK55 AMG safty car sounded like a gasmotor powered scooter compared to F1 cars

who would even expect any street car to run with an F-1? M5 or not. even an Enzo would be chewed up and spit out.

man that looked fun, either car, but especially the F-1. I love hearing those cars rip through the gears.

The title should be "here's an F1 car.... and a random image of an M5 every now and then".

I think this year F2005 is faster, but just the Bridgestone tires were killing them

With the technology BMW has, they should've built an awesome Formula One car. Hopefully next year when BMW are separate from Williams, they can do better.
