Which sim has the best sound?

Which sim has the best sound? I think: 1st place: Cart Precision Racing 2nd place: Nascar 2 The sound of GP2 is also pretty good and I'm pretty disappointed about the sound of F1rs. Other opinions?

TOCA has great in-car sounds - engine noise and rattling over rumble strips. -- UK.

If speaking purely about car sounds (engine, tyres etc) my placing would be ; 1) NASCAR 1 2) CPR 3) GP2 4) NASCAR 2 Cheers! John

They won't be too happy with him when he returns to the pits!" Or I could be confusing it with Jean Alasi in the Australian GP a couple of years ago! :) Later, John

For all of its other faults, the best sound I've heard in a racing game has to be the in-car of CART Precision Racing. Randy

I was a little confused I think. I meant Nascar 1 to be at the 2nd place.

It's not *strictly* a sim, but TOCA touring cars has excellent sound, the in-car rattles and bangs and creaks are Fantastic, just like a real in car environment!!!! 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)

Well, I may be shunned for this comment, but i really like Monster Truck Madness 2 engine and chassis sounds. I guess its not reall a "sim" though.. but a worthy mention in my opinion. (really like the cows as well... moooooooo)

first of all nfs2 isnt a sim, and cart precision racing is pushing the sim line. In tearms of realism, i'd rate them like this: GPL (demo only avail), F1RS, NASCAR2, GP2, INDYCAR2/CART Racing, Cart Precision Racing.

In tearms of realism, <snip> Dear Peter, The question was which sim has the best sound, NOT which sim is the most realistic. I think that CPR has, by far, the best sound. TOCA is a good second, and the GPL demo is third. Regards, Harald

This is true about TOCA. Sliding backwards across the grass after colliding with a car is very realistic sounding. Just like I read once, it sounds like the world is coated in peptol bismal.

(BTW, I am only commenting on the 'race sound'....engines, cars, etc.). Went to an Indy Car race last weekend (at Texas Motor Speedway) and found that the high pitched 'whine' of F1RS reminded me more of real racing than than MS CPR. And, yeah, I know that Formula 1 cars are different than Indy cars. I've heard both and still think that F1RS is better. Don't know about NASCAR 1/2. Dan P.

Dan, What you may not know is that there is a difference between Indy cars which run in the Indy Racing League (IRL) and Champ cars which run the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) series. At Texas you saw the IRL cars which are powered by normally- aspirated Aurora or Infinity V8's which are based on production engines and sound like an over rev'd Nascar engine to most people. Champ cars use turbocharged small displacement V8's which rev much higher than the IRL engines and have a distinctive turbo whine. I'm suprised you thought the large displacement IRL engines were modeled well by F1RS. Rich

Of course, you are correct. Perhaps I should have just simply stated that the race sounds produced by MS CPR are not as good as those produced by F1RS (IMHO). Dan P. _______________ Remove 55 in my address to reply
