Remember last year, when we all marveled at Red Bull’s Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez and his ability to navigate a track blindfolded? Now, a new F1 superpower has manifested itself, as AlphaTauri has challenged its drivers with determining Formula 1 tracks based solely on engine sound.

In the latest installment of the TauriTalk podcast, Red Bull AlphaTauri Junior Team The drivers tasked with Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries identifying the tracks on last year’s F1 calendar were nothing but engine notes. In each case, drivers had to figure out which surfaces caused the car to sound bumpy, which corners forced them to slow down and shift gears, and which tracks had a turning feature that put them in the wrong place. slower speed. It is truly amazing.

Although it sounds like a tough question, Tsunoda is confident in her abilities and said it should be “easy”. Then, throughout the clip (shared below), he and teammate de Vries battle each other, with each race to determine tracks like Silverstone in the UK and Baku in Azerbaijan as quickly as possible. .

Some songs two motorists could spot it immediately by the sound of bottoming cars as they did a lot last year suggested by the phenomenon that was brought in by new regulations. In other attempts, the pair looked confused, before an iconic corner piece caused the game to lose its grip.

It’s one of those talents that you can’t help but be impressed with and no matter how hard I try, I still struggle to find the clues that lead to each circuit. But then I guess I didn’t spend hours practicing each track on the F1 calendar in the simulator or on the track during practice sessions, teen series or other racing antics.

So have you tried the game? It starts around 33 minutes into the latest episode of TauriTalk, available to watch on YouTube and linked above. Let us know what you guessed in the comments section below.
