Powerboat P1 Cowes: V10 Engines Starting Podcast

Powerboat P1 Cowes: V10 Engines Starting PodCastThere’s very little that can quite prepare you for the sound of a powerboat P1 engine firing up and revving when you’re standing alongside.

There’s something almost visceral about it. Your internal organs rearrange themselves in changing patterns trying it fit around the throbs as the V10 engine pumps fuel into itself, in an attempt to stay up with the spark plugs which are exploding it.

It’s loud. Very loud.

Such was the experience on the pits/pontoons. By the miracle of technology you can share the experience by listening to the recordings we made.

    Sounds better if you plug speakers into your computer and turn it up loud.
