I need to have this as my hold music

If you can find the book "Into the Red" by Nick Mason and Mark Hales, it comes with a CD with that sound clip and a number of others (like a Porsche 956). I believe the CD only came on the European versions of the book, so it's good to ask before you buy. It's certainly worth the price of the book.

It's amazing to think that that engine made such an awsome sound and so much HP (for 1953) out of 1500 cc's! Yea Ha!!! Now if they could only get the thing to run straight for more then 1.5 laps...

In the mean time here's a video which shows the car.
