It may be familiar to me, yet the sound of engines roaring down the straights and the backfiring of exhausts popping on each downshift, always bring a big smile to my face.

The atmosphere was intense as the teams fought to qualify for raceday. Even more exciting was the Superlap stage, where each qualifier from the top eight timings fought for pole position by doing a single lap each, one by one, while all eyes are on you. The pressure doesnt get any higher than this. Teams even get to play their own song over the PA during their lap, so you get to hear anything from classical to Michael Jackson tunes.
