"This small mp3 is the sound of a 10-cylinder, 750
horsepower Asiatech F1 engine warming up. After a few
seconds you will notice it sounds a little strange... that's
right, it's playing "when the saints go marching in" with
its revs. it can do this because in F1 cars these days the
accelerator is computer controlled, so they programmed the
computer to have a little fun, much to the amusement of the
reporters and pit crew."

"A V10 engine produces five combustions per revolution at a
frequency per second of 60/(5 x revs per minute), which
equals 12/rpm. Therefore, to work out the revs you need to
hit a particular musical note, you multiply the note's
frequency by 12. To play a 440Hz 'A', for example, you need
5,280 rpm. For 'C', use 3,139rpm, for 'F' 4,191 rpm, and so
on."
