This is wicked!
You'll need sound on.

An English engineering crew is warming up a French Renault F1 engine
(V10) using computerized engine control from a laptop. The guy at the
upper left of the video is running the laptop. About three-quarters of the way through the video, after the engine is fully warmed up, he plays "God Save the Queen" using engine RPM's!!
At first I thought it was an edited video, but some research on Google indicated that this is really true. In fact, it's not a first. There are a couple other recorded instances of racing engines playing music
at the hands of musically inclined engineers. Appreciate the irony of a French car playing the British national anthem!
Cheers for sending this one in Ben.
