Race Car Sound Effects

Race Car sound effects from the circuit and the dyno. Real race cars recorded onboard and from the side of the track, with rev sweeps and hard accelerations. Loud, obviously. Stock cars and single seaters are all in here, along with a drift car and spectator recordings from a big endurance race.

Racing sound is the car plus the place it's in. For the car, several of these libraries split the engine, exhaust and interior across separate microphones, so a mix can sit in the cockpit or out by the exhaust, and a dyno session gives ignitions and rev sweeps with the car standing still. The place comes from pass-by collections at the Race Track, some recorded with hardly any crowd, and from spectator recordings among the crowds and trees. Plenty of choice. Pre-race manoeuvres have their own home in Pit Lane. All of it suits racing games as well as motorsport films and documentaries.
