Louder exhaust system gets green-light for 2016

Formula 1 cars will be louder in 2016 with the introduction of a revised exhaust system, the FIA confirmed on Thursday following Wednesday’s F1 Strategy Group meeting.

Sound, in particular the volume, was a major talking point during the 2014 season when the new hybrid-turbo V6 engines were introduced. Whilst calls for louder cars has grown quieter this season, some are still unhappy with the noise level.

Therefore a new exhaust specification will be implemented for the 2016 season.

It’s likely a second tailpipe will be added specifically to boost engine sound by creating a shorter and more direct route for the exhaust gasses which are diverted by the wastegate.

Another change for 2016 is the proposal to allow teams to choose their own tyre compounds for each race. It’s an idea Pirelli warned against, but one the tyre supplier is willing to abide by if it is forced to, which is now the case.

“Increased freedom of choice for tyre compounds has been confirmed and the modalities are being finalised with Pirelli for 2016,” confirmed the FIA in a statement.
