OK, so only the crank is spinning at full RPM and each rotor fires only on third revolution of the crank. Either way, at 9,000 rpm plus they're screaming. We could get into comparisons to piston engine only having the crank rotate at full RPM or 4-stroke only firing every other crank revolution, but I'll stop and get back to F1


We started watching season 3 of Drive to Survive last night and it did not disappoint! I'm amazed by how much behind the scenes stuff is going on that we don't normally hear about but I also wonder how much of it is Netflix dramatizing it.
