Formula 1 pass by sounds became a staple of online editing because the sport's high revving engines are instantly recognisable as pure speed, even to viewers who never watch a race. Creators lifted short flyby clips from broadcasts and race footage and reused them as a universal shorthand for anything moving too fast. The fast like a F1 version keeps that idea in its simplest form, a single clean pass with no commentary or crowd noise, which made it easy to drop into memes, gaming videos and short form edits anywhere.
