its the turbos whirring as they reach high rpms...plus Lotus's V8 Turbo powerplant doesn't sound like domestic V8's, it is noticeably more high pitched for some reason...anyone know why?

Euro V8's are usually much smaller in displacement than American V8's. Therefore a higher pitch exhaust note. For example: a racing vette has a 6.0 litre V8, a racing Lotus has a 3.5 litre V8.

How about that motor? It's blowing everything else on that track into the weeds. Has that car got a transplanted BMW F1 motor in it?

Is there a 320i here in the states? Dont think so. so im guessing its a newer, lightweight chassis with the older e30 m3 engine dropped in and a crazy super close-spaced tranny. Sure was smoking lots of nice cars tho

That sound isnt from the tranny, It is mostly resonance problems on the Video cameras Mic.

The sound is from the unrestricted unsupported (no bushings) turbos.

Lotus kicked asssssssssssssssssssssss! As usual!

Just surprised how fast it passed the Porsches and Marcos'

As mentioned above that wasn't a Lotus. I can't speak for dutch racing, but I can tell you BMW (the car in the video) hasn't made a turbo engine for many years!

***NO FLAMING IN MY QUOTE***

If that was true then wouldn't he need to double-clutch?
