Levin Bhai,
I think you are a bit mistaken. The sounds that you posted are from a BRM Supercharged V-16. They are not from Bill Sherwood's own car. I think you got a bad link for the engine sounds. here is the original text from Mr. Sherwoods own website:

[highlight][highlight]For your listening pleasure
I have some MP3's of a 1953 Formula One BRM 1.5 litre V-16 Supercharged racing car. This car has the most glorious sounding engine from any car of any era I've EVER heard!
Note that these sounds are recorded from the CD that comes with the excellent book, "Into The Red", by Nick Mason, and so actually, um, 'ripped' ... So, if anyone has a problem with them being on my site, please let me know and I'll remove them straight away.
- The BRM being push started and then driving away. (984kb)http://www.billzilla.org/BRM-pushstart.mp3
- The BRM making a full power run past the pits. LOUD!!!! (515kb)http://www.billzilla.org/BRM-loudpass.mp3
- The BRM returning to the pits. (402kb)http://www.billzilla.org/BRM-returntopits.mp3
- The BRM doing three laps of the circuit. (3.55mb)http://www.billzilla.org/BRM-fulltrack.mp3
- The BRM, as it sounds from inside the cockpit. (1.8mb)http://www.billzilla.org/BRM-incar.mp3
I would highly recommend buying the book - I did, just for the CD of the BRM alone.
There's also some recordings of a 1984 Benneton Cosworth DFV powered Formula One car.

Not quite in the same league is my AE-86 Sprinter when it had the old engine. I made a WAV file of it starting up a while ago, and it sounds a lot like a bridge-port rotary.

Although it must be said, I'd love to have an engine that sounds as venomous as that V-16 in my car :p. Even RB26s will be forgotten!!! (h)
Cheers and drive safe,
