F1 engines are currently 2.4L V8.

Didn't look like an F1 car at all, and after actually paying attention to the vid it flashes what vehicle it is...

Reynard F3000 Mugen/Honda
3000 com 480ch/ps 5gang 550kg

meaning...

Probably a 93/94 Reynard F3K chassis...Mugen/Honda 3.0L with about 490hp, 5 speed and weighing ~1200lbs. (sorry...i'm an open-wheeled car nut

)

=

Lots of fucking fun.

that video is intense!

The 2.4L V8's were new for 2006. EXCEPT, the Scuderia Torro Rosso team ran the V10 w/restrictor plates this year.

Most of the 2006 F1 grid ran 7 speed (+1 reverse gear) sequential boxes. 2 or 3 of the smaller teams still ran the older 6 speed units.

it starts with rally and goes even more off topic from there.. but a few open wheel guys chime in too.
