Best sound of LM 2012......

[ecain63]

What did it for you?

My 'hair on neck' moment was hearing the Demeco Corvette blast off down the Mulsanne for the first time.

[SCRR]

Aston / Corvette battle was super. However, for me it was the Toyota. . The future can sound great after all.

[Froggy porker]

Maybe should be a poll - either Aston or Corvette for me! Fezzas made my left ear hurt (don't ask me why - no idea!).

As an aside, the pink car was producing wonderful lift off detonations and flames, so hats off to them for tuning it nicely on the limit.

Bacon sizzling on the BBQ at breakfast time, along with a drop back noise of a nearby race track is always a winner!

[blackquat]

The Ferrari's on gear change made me twitch.

[crugbun]

For me the demonstration runs of the Matra V12 cars before the start.

Incredible noise.

found a video on you tube.

Now what are the chances of this... the guy that filmed the video is standing right behind me in the crowd... I have the pale grey green old man's hat on!

[Dr Boxcat]

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say the Honda lmp with crescent rear lights made a tremendous shriek, especially at dusk of the race. although that trio of Matras was amazing.

[Bolognese]

Ferrari's all the way!

[DS240]

Definately the Aston closely followed by corvette.

The 911 exhausts was also special when braking, banging and popping. (and the wide wide body look)

[Mr Noble]

The Rebellions sounded best for me - and brought back memories of when Aston were running the same car with a proper V12 in it. Now THAT was the best sounding Le Mans car in years!!

You like the sound of carbon fibre being rubbed against other cars?!?

[DJPetrolHead]

Audi's - purely on the basis it sounded like Startrek doors being opened!! :-)

OK OK .... Ferrari's for sure...screamers!!

There can surely be no contest it has to be the V12 Corvettes.

Surely we could have a little genius who could add a sound box to my MX5 to sound like that, please!

He's been here nearly 7 years!!!!



I'm sure he meant the V8 Corvettes, and I'd agree with him

[damianv8]

vettes....every year
not sure how anyone can disagree

[mister.t]

Corvette or Aston. Especially when on the big wheel at 2:30am listening to them downshift, then charge down the straight. Epic.

Can I nominate my own video?

Barrier resonance on the Mulsanne

Listen out for the lift off at the first chicane at 52 seconds too.
