You'd love going to an F2 race then, the A424 has practically the exact same engine as the F2 cars.

I much prefer the sound of the Alpine

[@fre3z3r68]

I was able to experience it live at the weekend, the sound is incredibly good and really loud😅

[@worldracingofficial]

I was very surprised by its sound, I had seen a few videos made by Alpine but it was difficult to realise, I was afraid that it sounded like an F2 (the engine of the Alpine is derived from that of the F2) but it has a very good sound and it is quite noisy!

Lovely sound i was there during the race!!

[@ryanstewart4444]

Absolutely gorgeous sound, awesome turbo chirp live. In having said that, the Alpine's have really annoying head-lights from a spectator standpoint and it doesn't help that the Alpine drivers flash their lights more than the rest of the class combined.

[@worldracingofficial]

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound, I thought it would be less noisy, personally I wasn't annoyed by the headlights

[@domepugliese]

heard it at Imola and it sounds beautiful, but I think it's still too much on the soft side, it would need to be some dBs louder imo

[@goodtimeblimp]

Turbos bro.

[@worldracingofficial]

It's never loud enough! 😂 For me, it's a pleasant surprise. I was afraid that the sound would be similar to that of the Ginetta G60-LT-P1 Mecachrome, which was very quiet

[@worldracingofficial]

@@goodtimeblimp Even with a turbo, it has a good sound, as does the Lamborghini and the BMW

[@michaeluhrmann9347]

Indeed beautiful sound ❤

[@evanrabe3785]

Je bande

[@worldracingofficial]

A ce point ! 🤣

[@ZedNinetySix_]

Sounds like a 911 RSR😻

[@worldracingofficial]

You find ? I'm having trouble finding a comparison personally

[@ZedNinetySix_]

@@worldracingofficial 2015/16 model RSR, those were screamers

[@Nicolas_Cage_Bees]

​@@worldracingofficialThe closest obvious comparison is F2 since those are also Mechachrome engines. It sounds slightly different based on my own interpretation of hearing this and then immediately going and listen to some crowd shots of the 2023 F2 cars but it's still overall very similar IMO.

[@worldracingofficial]

@@ZedNinetySix_ More like 2017 - 2019? The Alpine is much quieter

[@worldracingofficial]

@@Nicolas_Cage_Bees In fact, the closest sound seems to be that of the F2s, although the Alpine has a better sound and is much noisier
