Even if you’re a Formula 1 fan or not, I’m sure many of you would be familiar with the screaming sound of an F1 car in full flight. This year a new technology was implemented by some of the teams called a blown diffuser.
While it’s a very complex operation in how it operates, fundamentally the system blows those exhaust gasses down onto the chassis to allow for extra grip in corners by adjusting how the engine creates exhaust gas. From next year it is banned which in my opinion is a sad thing because it sounds AMAZING!
Like a lot of facets when it comes to a F1 television broadcast, they don’t do these diffusers justice. About a month ago an interesting video popped up on online showcasing the sounds of the blown diffusers in action. Click play and turn up those speakers.
