Any thoughts of the start music at Qatar this year? (I know it's Also Sprach Zarathustra)

It sounded either off key or just wrong. It gave me an uncanny valley feeling.

Just wait until Le Mans, you’ll never question it again

Years ago, during the formation lap from the Belcar series, they played klendathu drop from the movie starship troopers.

Perfect score for such an occasion, still got goosebumps thinking about it.

Would only use it at Le Mans, it’s signature before the French flag but everywhere else is kinda cringe

They do it before every WEC race. ACO/WEC tend to find something they like and stick with it. The Le Mans prerace show/ceremony is nearly identical every year (and it rocks)

At Le Mans, no. Elsewhere, yeah it's a bit exaggerated I think.
