Nürburgring 1972 German GP, standing on the hill just after the bridge at Adenau. The Matra, on a lap by itself. You could here it from when it left Hatzenbach. Every throttle blip etc. As the car got closer, blasting downhill through Kallenhardt, the curves to Wehrseifen, the sound was simply beautiful. The crowd on the hill were silent, taking in the spirit of the moment. When it passed by, admittedly not as fast as Ickx, many in the crowd clapped, cheered, raised their bottles and drank to the glory of those who created that artwork. A perfect couple of minutes of memories... Romantic? You bet your butt it was.

The explanation of the unique sound goes as follows, if I am correct. Matra is a French aerospace firm, with access to lots of very high tech. The French government in those days wanted to have a French car and a French driver win Formula 1, 24 Hours of Le Mans, etc. So they funded Matra to develop winning cars & engines. One way you help make winning cars is to make them lighter than the competition, and one of the items where this could be done is the bundle-of-snakes exhaust pipes on a V12. Matra decided to save some weight by changing them from steel to titanium. The problem is, titanium is very difficult to work with, so instead of welding up various curved pipes for each exhaust, they cast most of the entire pipe out of titanium. Very light. I would not want to hear how much that technology cost. No one else could afford it. Anyway, once you have metal that has been cast, it can/will "ring" like a bell, when struck. And that is what happens on the racing engines., Each exhaust pulse causes the pipe to ring, and when there are twelve of them being struck. each one 6,000 times/min (@12,000 rpm) you get music. And that is the reason, as far as I know.

Standing at Mulsanne Corner, in the dark, listening for this sound to emerge. Through the trees. It grows and grows until the lights comes into view. Hard on the brakes and down through the box, but just as quickly hard on to the accelerator again out of the corner down to Indianapolis - Oh happy days! Nurse! Nurse!! (Now go and find Mazda 787)
