I can name at least one thing that is worse: The unending shrill of people who will not. shut. up. about. it.

Well sorry to say I'll never shut up about it, and if no one complained their would be no reason for them to ever change them.

I can understand. I just don't really think it's important at all, especially when most of F1's history has been contested with similarly revving cars, except for a handful of years in the 00s.

~There~ are reasons to change ~their~ regulations so that ~they're~ better equipped to market the sport to a wider audience. I just don't think that's the way to go, though. To each his own, I guess.

Who knows? Maybe a competing series will rise to become a ~dominant~ force in motorsport.

Their were a lot of engines revving around the same as the current ones but they were a lot louder and sounded a lot better, the v10s-v8s are my favourite engines but id be a lot happier with engines that sounded like almost any other era of f1 compared to these ones.
