Sports Car Caravan
It's been a while since we had any car engine noises on this site. It's also been a while since I posted on this blog. As you can see, these are recordings of sports cars in various races. The organization behind this label did not give any information about the individual tracks (what cars are recorded on which track, on what race track is the recording taking place). Instead this was given on the back cover:
If you've been to a motor race - and since you're interested in this record, the chances are pretty good that you have been - you'll find a lot here that is familiar to you. Sounds of sports car racing have the uncanny ability to bring back all the sensations of the race itself; your mind's eye sees all the color of the cars, the bright flags, the excited crowd; after a few minutes listening you will even imagine you can smell the exhaust fumes, the castor oil, the burnt rubber.
Soundwise, you may find some new items here. These particular sounds were recorded at a wide variety of races, so different cars, with different gear ratios and different exhaust systems, give the listener a broad coverage of the sounds of this great new American sport.
Surprisingly, enough, even exactly the same car on two different courses will sound like two different cars. But at speed, which is how you can hear them on this disc, they all have one basic quality in common - all of them help to recreate the enormous excitement of sports car racing.
