dammit I want one!!!!!!!!11one11!!!!!!!! That thing is crazy!
seriously, I checked the F1 site a while back and I couldn't find anything other than the basic 900+hp 3.0 liter V12 info. What kind of valvetrain do those motors use??!? Are they OHC or do they use some kind of pneumatically(sp?) controlled valves or something???!!?! I NEED to know how they rev to 20k rpm...... or I'll lose my mind!
Somebody here has to know!!!

they dont have valve springs, they have little pistons attached to the valves pushed on by nitrogen gas. damn expensive engines, take a week to build one.
also the official website...
