The sonorous splutterings of a racing car being called ‘music’ is about as worn out as clichés get. It’s seriously overused hyperbole that’s fallen victim to the clickbait machine-fed nature of the way we consume such things these days.

Sometimes, though – and we kick ourselves for buckling to it – there’s no other way to describe it. That the sounds coming from this M1 Pro Car at FOS a couple of years ago are a bi-product of a mechanical power-plant and, in fact, not the finely perfected product of the world’s finest concerto is not important. It sends a ripple up your spine like a powerful operatic ensemble would all the same. So with that, we look forward to #76MM – now less than a month away – where M1s will join other fire-spitting Group 5 weapons at our circuit.
