Race cars rev like crazy at the start of a race because petrol engines have zero power except at high revs. It’s exciting, goosebumps, the sound. Though that’s just the cars farting, literally. Some equate the sound with grunt, but it’s the sound of 70-80% of the fuel energy going straight out the exhaust. I love car racing, but the V8s are in a bind, nobody really drives Mustangs or Camaros. They could convert Supercars to hybrids, so we can get some real grunt. Major race formulas overseas have already done it. Or even better, put the hybrids in the race, with the Mustangs and Camaros. Carnage.
