Computers and F1 Cars. Unbelievable!

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.

Earlier on in the year one of the guys from that Top Gear tv show, recorded their theme song only using cars reving. Didn't sound anywhere as good as that though.
