Yeah, F1 is now limited by regulation to 18,000 rpm at full throttle, or
the cars would easily be around 22,000 rpm by now. A 12000 "idle" isn't
impossible at all.

The *sound* of 24 Formula 1 cars at full throttle on the start of a tight
course like the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix is beyond imagination. The
other end of the spectrum from a wet liner TR four. I can't wait until the
end of May and my annual visit to the Principality!
