Just a shot in the dark but........absolutely not! :-)
As I've said before, when testing in my low-revving proKart I still can't
hear the two strokes until the are right beside me and I'm not wearing ear
plugs or anything.
Hello, Geoff ;)

Well you would actually have to be there to see how he is doing it
to really tell. Assembler certainly can be a can of worms he didn't
want to mess with much. This could be interpreted as lazy since he
claimed to spend 4 years on GP3.

It's quite easy to take a minimal approach; calculate the approximate
distance of all cars (to the player's car); this is just 21x
posPlayer-posCar, which are just 3 subtractions.
Then mix the pitched samples into a single buffer; today's Pentiums
can do this without problems (an easy pitch & mix really doesn't take
that much time).
A slider for how many sounds at the same time, and then you take the
closest x cars out of the 22 available, and presto.
Not hard at all. Perhaps a day or 2 of work, tops. That includes
mixing the car sounds.
Didn't seem to bother Geoff, probably, or he was busy doing something
else. Let's hope he was busy on the patch. ;-)0

Always found Damon Hill strange...
Hockenheim 1996, Damon Hill won the race after Berger's engine blew up in
one of the last laps, I quote Damon Hill: "As we roared down the staight, I
heard a terrible noise from an engine, and I wondered whether it was my
engine or his..."

% I don't think you are allowed to use the term "lazy" for someone who codes
% in assembler. "Crazy" perhaps. Or "different". Or "shit, how am I going
% to change this now?". But definitely not lazy.
If he wasn't lazy he would have updated his code.... Using old code
that cripples things in an upgrade is being lazy in my book.
