......or "How not to treat your 200k motor." Not bad throttle response though.....

20,000 rpm sounds so great! Just watched it again to start my day on a good note.:icon996:

Looks to be a little on the lean side to me. Maybe they need to step up the jets in the carburetor one or two sizes. :pat:

I'll bet if you put the sound track on a reel-to-reel and slowed it down, it would sound like a mean ol' junkyard dog.

Please don't. If your headers are glowing, imagine the extreme heat that your pistons are experiencing. If your headers are glowing, shut the thing off as fast as possible and figure out why. Extreme lean condition, severe vacuum leak (resulting inn extreme lean condition).
Don't ask me why these guys don't mind glowing headers. F1 engines are not turbocharged. Maybe it's just during start-up.

Headers don't just glow when there is something wrong. Hell, cast iron manifolds will glow if you're on the power long enough. Imagine a truck pulling a trailer up a hill. That F1 engine is used to some more air flowing over it when it's turning those types of RPM. This will also explain why they are using pretty exotic metal for exhaust. I have been pulling a lot of video from the web, and many of the dyno videos show engines with glowing headers at the end of a run. That F1 engine is computer controlled, I highly doubt they are running it lean, or at least lean enough to damage it.

I agree. "I'm just saying: Don't try this at home, kids."

GREAT vid!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! Considering the SUPER high rpm they are able to do the first part of the vid that thing is just above idle. They dont idle like a small block,yes the headers will glow like that if you are on the power long enough or under a load like BB69 said. BTW that is an ENGINE!!!! motors run on electricity!!!!!!

Po-tA-to, Po-ta-to. I did manage to call it an engine in the title......

Here's another one you might like. The guy that sent this to me said it is out of a 1.5L V16. Great sounding ENGINE!!!:headbang: Set your speaker volume to 10!

Craig-

Believe it or not, that engine (the audio clip) is a 1953 BRM 1.5 V16 (supercharged). I've got clips from the cockpit (obviously not me) at speed. The video looks like an older BMW P82; but that's a s.w.a.g.

Do you still have the video clip. Lets see it!

No vid of that BRM run; I was referring to the video you posted. I've been told there are some runs somewhere on a guy's site, but it doesn't come up when (I) Google it. I'll get it one of these days...

That video is supposedly from a party they have at the end of the season - the teams try to generate as much sound and fireworks as possible. I think that was the Arrows team from a few years ago.

The headers in F1 are made of thin Titanium and they do glow - you just don't normally see it because they're covered by bodywork.

Also, this year's 3.5L V10s rev to 19K or so - but there's a rules change for next year, to go down to 2.4L V8s. Everybody said there would be a huge drop in horsepower (say down to 650hp from 950hp+). However, Cosworth and Honda are already testing motors and have them revving to over 22K rpm! Honda has already had them on the track in the BAR. Apparently the V8's don't have the inherent vibration problems that the V10's do, so it's easier to spin them faster. Expect 24K+ rpms in the next few years and power creeping up to the current levels.

All this and naturally aspirated.

The pipes on f-1 cars are paper thin , that might make them glow easier. Imagine your mechanic telling you to "go easy, keep it under sixteen thousand r.p.m."

F-1 is awesome but the races themselves turn into a parade sometimes.

esp. the one-or-two passing show that Monaco was (that's a joke, by the way).

Some of there exhaust systems are made of inconel, which can take more heat than Ti- It just depends on the location in the system.

I love how when cars get anyware near each other, the announcers act like its the battle to end all battles.

When Gilles Villeneuve died f1 was never the same.

This year has picked up a little, did you like monaco?

Moto gp seems to be the place to watch nailbiting racing these days.
