I'm really surprised no one has responded to this. I thought y'all were car guys, not just wax and polish guys.

I'm sure that's a big part of the reason you haven't gotten any responses yet. I've had a copy of this video on my hard drive since March of this year, but then again I'm sort of an F1 fanatic. I don't know what looks better glowing red like that though - an exhaust header or brake disks

My brother, myself, and two friends of ours had the pleasure this year to actually be in the BAR/Honda pits during the Indy F1 race weekend. Getting a F1 pit pass is like hitting the lotto, because they don't just let anyone in (even if you have lots of $).

My brother is associated with RJ Reynolds which co-owns part of BAT (British American Toboacco). We were actually in the BAR/Honda garage when the mechanics were doing a engine check after changing the fluids in the cars after a practice. Hearing an F1 engine "bark" from ~ 10 ft. away definitely sends chills up your spine.

It will be interesting to hear the differences next season when they move to 8 cylinders
