First you'll hear a 10-cylinder, 750 horsepower Asiatech F1 engine being warmed up. Then it performs a rousing version of "When The Saints Come Marching In", to the delight of assembled pit staff and journalists. Here's how the magic was achieved (technical/musical details via F1 Racing magazine): As we all know, 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 5,280rpm. For 'C', use 3,139rpm, for 'F' 4,191rpm, and so on.
Asiatech's French technicians (the engine, despite its name, is derived from a Peugeot design) simply programmed their engine to run through the various rev/note ranges in the correct sequence. The result is delightful. And think of the possibilities - BMW's F1 engine, which howls all the way to 19,050rpm, could rip through the entire Hendrix songbook.

Programmed, eh? Would have been far more impressive if it had been done by someone actually hitting the accelerator w/ their foot.
"BMW's F1 engine, which howls all the way to 19,050rpm..." "fuck"

Yes. I am very impressed with this. umm.. well since you can't hear the sarcasm, I'll just say this is pretty dumb. Whoever did this does have too much time on thier hands. OY, but it was a fairly decent rendition of the song. For a high preformance race car engine.

It was actually a PR move by the Minardi race team.
