How F1 cars are meant to sound, right? This was one of the most dominant cars to ever race in the series.

The FW14 is the best sounding Williams. Original V10 that started the dominance of that arrangement.

It might not be an ‘eargasm’ however I have always loved the sound of hybrid cars switching to ICE on the move - it might not be an exhaust noise but there’s a lot to be said for the mechanical noises that a racing car makes. Such as a gearshift or rubbing brake pads etc…
