The Parting Shift Rerun: The Coolest Job in the World, Driving an F1 Engine and Trans on a Test Stand


The Parting Shift Rerun: The Coolest Job in the World, Driving an F1 Engine and Trans on a Test Stand

We’ve seen some awesome automotive jobs in our day, but the guy featured in this video has the best one hands down. The video is from the early 1990s and it shows a Renault V10 Formula One engine being thrashed on a test stand, but not any test stand. This one is hooked to a transmission and the guy running it is banging gears!

Imagine punching the time clock every morning to do this for a living. Hell, the guys even starts showing off at one poiint by heel-toe shifting the damned test stand. Yes, that’s correct, the guy is literally driving the test stand.

Crank up the sound because this one sounds good at full tilt!
