The sound of the F1 engines is very unusual. > ==================== That's how 19.000+ RPM engines 'scream'...:-) NASCAR is also popular enough in Indonesia. There is a TV station airing NASCAR races every Sunday night here in Indonesia. I also watch it though not so often. About Indy 500, it used to be aired in Indonesia a couple of years ago, but not anymore. Don't know why. Maybe because it's not as popular as F-1 here. Frankly, I also loved to hear the Indycar engines, especially their turbo whistling sound....:-) It seems that I love everything about turbo, esp. turbo diesel. I wish someday I can watch European Truck Racing or Truck Trial on TV. It's much more interesting to see giant Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, DAF, MAN, Scania, or Unimog, Tatra, Iveco, and Kamaz in action rather than the usual racecars. Desianto F.
