Those among you that love motorsport and pure, unadulterated sound clips of past track warriors, you’ve just hit the jackpot, the whole nine yards. More so if you happen to be a part of the Tifosi, arguably the most enthusiastic fan base Formula 1 has seen since it was founded in 1950.
Brought to you on YouTube by famous motorsport junkie 19Bozzy92, the following six minutes and 30 seconds are full of induction, exhaust, overrun and pedal-to-the-metal acceleration sounds of Ferrari Formula 1 single seaters of the past two decades, including one of the Scuderia’s might've-beens.
I’m referring to the #28 Ferrari 412 T2, which was raced by a famous Austrian-born bloke known as Gerhard Berger during the 1995 Formula 1 season.
Starting from the streamlined and wickedly cool 412 T2, this clip features a lot of other V12, V10, V8 and turbocharged V6 hybrid power unit-propelled Fezzas the Scuderia used in the modern era of Formula 1.
Why have I called the 412 T2 a might’ve-been? It’s simple: out of 17 races, this car was good enough for a single win, a single pole and three fastest laps throughout the 1995 season. Schumacher tested a variant of the 412 T2, famously declaring that the car’s “good enough to win a world championship.”
Sorry Michael, but you were pretty wrong on this one. It’s not that I’m not a fan of mid-1990s to today’s Formula 1 cars, but believe me, the lot you’re about to see in the video could turn a hater of the 2014 season turbo V6 hybrid power unit into a fan.
To boot, this is Monza, which is referred to as the Catherdal of Speed for its very fast configuration.
After a 1:43 scale model of a Ferrari 250 GTO sparked Mircea's interest for cars when he was a kid, an early internship at Top Gear sealed his career path. He's most interested in muscle cars and American trucks, but he takes a passing interest in quirky kei cars as well. Full profile
