^^^ Thanks. The sound of the Aston Martin is sort of a game-changer in my mind. It's the best sounding racecar since the V10 F1 era. Doonan is the one who suggested to AM to make the car louder when they tested at Daytona. And they did. The test here is closed to the public and the only way to watch is from the Seven Hotel (on Turn 7). So there are often people staying at the hotel who are not racecar fans and they come out and watch for a while. When the Valkyrie went by you could see, even these non-enthusiasts, get sort of a dumb-founded smile on their face. Of course, Cadillac has been the sound-King of the new era but the rest of the field is not really noteworthy. It would be a major improvement to the series to get Porsche and Honda and BMW and the rest to open up those silencers!
Something Sounds Different
