At least, the 82-year-old Formula 1 boss, do not close it out. The 1.6-litre V6 turboblokken that from next year used to be sound, after all, “as lawn-mowers”. And the famous grasmaaierracen has never really caught on.
From the next F1-season runs the race series, again, keeping in pace with the rest of the car industry, because there is considerably downsized. The 2.4-litre V8 engines of today, often to hunt up to 19,000 rpm, will soon be a thing of the past and that worries Ecclestone concerns. Large ensure.
Ecclestone already has some new V6 engines, equipped with the required brandstofrestrictie may hear. And what through his hearing aids to come in was not to his liking. Thus, We can conclude that the V6 Turbo’s are not as spectacular will sound if the current achtpitters. Partly because the maximum speed of 15,000 rpm is a lot lower. No surprise so far. But Ecclestone please note that spectators will stay away because of the lack of epic V8 howling.
“there is a danger that the public may not visit the races because the sound isn ’t what it was. I absolutely think it is a real possibility.”
In an interview with the American Autoweek said Ecclestone also added that one sentence where purists all feared: “Maybe we can make them sound like the current engines”, which he subtly referred to staged motor noise. In what way? There went he not in. A motorroffel through the speakers, as in the BMW M5, for a F1 car pretty silly, and the combination of a Airmilespasje plus a clothespin at the wheel let it rock-climbing, we see also not happen quickly.
Anyway, the V6 is definitely, as Ecclestone says, it is not possible to be able to keep.
The Formula 1 and the V6 going however far back. In the eighties, for example, when did you hear anyone complain about the sound of turbogeblazen zescilinders. Example: the Renault Lotus of Ayrton Senna sounds absurdly delicious, that we still have some hope for the motors of next year. And Ecclestone will especially be less hard growing bank account to stay away from V8 fans regret. Because years ago, when the V6-plan was suggested and VW probably would do, he was still jumping from happiness. Now he reacts SO.
