iRacing interior sound in general needs a bit more punch in the lower mid-range and low frequency range. Almost every car seems to have this same chopped off/compressed EQ to me.
You’re the 3rd or 4th person I’ve seen say this and the more I watch onboards of real cars, the more I think this is true. The sound feels like it’s missing something and something is the power that more bass gives you.
Even in the LMP2 car, I think it sounds anemic and doesn’t give that much of a sense of how loud and powerful that car is. IRL it seems super loud in the inside.
@@fommilsomething that would make it better I think is this: when you shift gears IRL in a sequential transmission car, the engine sounds like it’s shaking a bit. I’ve always wondered why that happens.
Agreed. People defend iRacing's sound so much but honestly, it's not great. The engine sounds are accurate 'ish' and are fine but there is something missing. I sit on the pitlane in ACC and it's insane the difference.
In today’s update, iRacing’s release notes say the M4 interior sounds have been “significantly improved.” How about doing a GT4 race in the M4 so that we can hear it, Dave?
This looks to be the season of the GT4s! There's also a dedicated BMW GT4 series and the old one went to PCC. Nobody is going to have any time left over to do Porsche Cup anymore.
@@fommil the BMW GT4 (the old one) was the car I started my iRacing journey in after rookies, in the BMW 12 min challenge, but then I switched to the cayman GT4 and then the GT3 cars. Today I did 2 races in the PCC just to drive the old BMW again, and it was the most fun I had in ages in iRacing. That thing in the rain is really nice.
Yep. Generally turbos eat their own sounds. So they’re quieter. And I suppose if you’re doing an endurance race maybe the lack of too much internal volume might be a blessing.
Mate you must be deaf then😂😂 I went to Interlagos, 6 hours of São Paulo, the McLaren is flippin loud, so is the Lexus, Aston, Lambo, tbh all cars are loud apart from the 911
They are pretty quiet in real life, saw them at Donington this weekend for the British GT and its pretty close, what I will say is that the teams have multiple exhausts they can use at different tracks for noise limits, so depends which exhaust iracing recorded.
1:48 not surprise about that...the old good iracing trick to sale cars. New car launch=purchase time= Bop favorite , after that everyone back to the same car. 😄
Happened once with some car. Mustang/Chevy least driven cars last season. I think there's possibility that old mclaren gt3 was driven more times than those two.
That hasn't really been the result the last few releases. the Mustang was not great. Corvette very track specific and the Audi was good but wasn't massively above everything else
Hi Dave, thanks for the great video as always - I bought it last night and did just a handful of laps at Road America. I loved it and can see where you're coming from comparing it to the ferrari; the only thing I found was I needed to be a little less agressive on the throttle exiting corners, whether this is due to the oversteer you mention or my big yellow right boot I'm unsure, as my skill level is not very high 😅
Cheers for your review mate! It was nice to have a sneak preview! I did buy it earlier...but I've been up all night and all day playing the heck out of Astro Bot over on the ps5 aha. About to roll into bed... but when I wake, the new season should have began! Good luck out there mate! I feel like this season will be fun! 🤘😊🫶
I was at Barber for FGTWCA this weekend and got to hear the McLaren GT4. I was surprised by how quiet some of the cars are irl. Loved the sound of the Corvette GT3, proper sound 👌
Im glad to hear it is a bit similar to the Ferrari GT3 as i like that car a lot. The McLaren GT3 is certainly on my buying list now. Thanks for this video :)
Man - I thought the off throttle oversteer and subsequent spinning death in the 12C was just me. Good to hear someone else had to deal with that as well. :) Just got the 720 and I think it's great. I still suck, but the car feels great. I do miss the sound of the 12C though.
Yeah, sure. James Baldwin raced this car He did a review of it and was very disappointed by the iracing sound. He even played a bit of onboard footage, and even though it's just a recording with a bad camera mic, it sounds better than iRacing on headphones.
@@mementomori4972 idk I thought the clips here (and my personal experience driving it in game) is reflected pretty accurately by this onboard: th-cam.com/video/au5tXBUfJg0/w-d-xo.html
Sounds like the actual car onboard to me... the 720 isn't a real loud engined car to begin with. Have a listen to the Pfaff shorts they have posted on their page and its very similar. Turbo's are inheritably additional sound mufflers most turbo cars aren't crazy loud unless they are running straight pipe exhausts
It’s not that it needs to be more loud, but they have pushed the wrong frequencies in the mix. Everything sounds higher pitched than it should be. There are no mid-low frequencies.
The engine definitely sounds meaner in ACC inside the cockpit - was hoping for more character from the internal sound capture (even blending some of the external sound in). I hope iRacing makes some tweaks to the sound this season after your first thoughts, because many drivers will agree
Imo, the shift light are a bit weird, the engine sounds like the rev can go way more higher before shift, but the shift lights are red & blue already. Not sure what rpm should I upshift, 7200rpm maybe? In fixed setup, the car needs more steering input comparing to Corvette
@@gabedeyoung9137 I checked the onboard of the real car, it was full blue then red & blue lights... my assumption is that they don't want the lights flashing which might distract the driver? But when listening to the engine sound, the onboard red & blue lights did turn later than the one in iracing.
Just read the patch notes from yesterday and iRacing apparently improved the sound of this car. It says: improved in-car engine sound and added new transmission and drive train sounds.
The problem with the McLaren is it's a turbo car and once the turbo kicks in you will have a snap of oversteer when accelerating out of low grip tracks and/or short corneres. You'll need good throttle control and/or short shift here and there. It easily gives you the feeling you're fast and then often you find you're not. It can be fast though. I just have the feeling I have to really push that car to get the laptimes the aliens get. I was trying out the Accura NSX and found I was a lot faster with it tbh. But I love the McLaren. It does handle nice and once you get the hang of it it's a cool car.
I fortunate to work on the 720s GT3 among other sports cars (p2/p3) and Dave is correct in the sound is lacking a sort of "depth' for lack of a better word
I just got it for free, and I can't wait until my kids softball practice is over so I can try it out... Sad thing is that it's looking like the McLaren and the Porsche are going to be my car of choice, even though I want to drive the BWM... I like the look of the BWM more, but I get around the track in the other two faster..
I’ve been putting in laps at CTMP and I can confirm that this car feels incredible. So each to manipulate without losing the rear end. All bias aside, I’m in love.
I’m so happy to see it added to iRacing. I’m sad that the RC-F won’t be added. How does rules and homolations work on the Imsa grid? Cause I could’ve sworn the 720s production car was discontinued but is obviously still being raced in GTD.
@@BGR_33 “cause it’s at the end of its life” is what everyone says on Reddit. I still think they should add it. The same thing can be said about the 720S GT3. It’s basically at the end of its life too. I don’t see them on the grid no more than 2 years (the RC-F and 720S)
Hold up dave, why does your version of spa have the white line before the last chicane like old spa, and nobody else's does? What's going on here dave?
@davecamyt havent been able to check, but think they must have added it in the last day. I almost ran out of tin foil thinking that iracing were secretly giving some youtubers different content, potentially better tyre models 😆
It's the same with the corvette. it sounds amazing outside the car, a bit whiney inside. At this point I don't care for realistic, I want an option to toggle an exhaust mic 😂
now they need to add the beautiful Aston Martin Vantage GT3 the facelift one, also maybe the NSX and RCF but the RCF will probably be replaced soon by a new Toyota GT3 Racecar
It's a good car in the dry. Feels similar to ferrari and corvette and a bit of audi with oversteer at spa turn 7 i think (bruxelles). In the wet tho it feels very bad. Car loses a ton of grip mid corner
If I had recently purchased the [Legacy] McLaren MP4-12C GT3, and want to upgrade to this new car, will iRacing automatically adjust my credits or do I have to do something to take the credits?
My thoughts (as an iRacing fanboy and 40% member for a long time) is, i don’t buy any new content until the new graphics engine is released. iRacing is still my no1 sim, but when i played LMU ist is VERY hard to go back to iRacing every time - seems like the tracks in iRacing only have 4 different colors 🙈
Why? iRacing graphics is one of te things that makes the sim better then any of the other ones. Without it the game would be far worse, due to far less people being avle to play. Keep them as is, update slowly. Graphics has never made a game good, and certainly has never made a game worse. So dont change it, which will prevent lots of players from participating and in turn reduce anounts of splits etc.
@@TheFrontyer to me I have found out that graphics in LMU is giving me so much more immersion and fun. And in most games the player can change the graphics so their systems can run the game, could be a thing for iRacing too when they will update their engine.
McLarens have always been quite especially with this twin turbo layout, it’s not the end of the world and as an OAP sim racer is better in the ears. I think this is the best car iRacing have produced…….On the Le Mans front real life if you think the Macca is quiet the Porsche sounded like an electric car it was that bad
I'm convinced that iRacing record their interior sounds with a microphone from temu that they've submerged in water. The audio has been underwhelming for years and it's such a shame.
Well looks like i'm buying ANOTHER GT car tonight, last week I bought the new BMW GT4 and the BMW GT3 on accident when I was trying to get the new GT4, so yay new cars lol.
Yeah, just like the new BMW, the interior sound is... too clean, you don't feel like the sound is resonating with the interior of the car, the chassis or anything. Did a quick comparison with James Baldwin's onboard. It has the correct sound, its just too filtered. I do like the outside sound. (edit: ive read in the other comments they did update the BMW sound so for clarity, in this comment i mean pre-update GT4)
Gotta say it, but it shouldn’t matter when you bought the old car. Fact is that people paid their money for the old car, iRacing took away that car and replaced it with this one. And now people are having to basically “rebuy” their McLaren. Should’ve just been if you owned the last one this one replaces it. My two cents anyways. I’ll probably eventually own this one as well to replace my old one.
Great vid as always! Iracing needs to cool it on the content and spend an update upgrading their sound and graphics across the board. Both are lagging behind other sims.
Different departaments do different things, no need to stop developing other things. The audio guys already said in a blog post that they are working on upgrading the sound engine
They have a whole dedicated team working on an all new game engine already. I don’t think we see it till at least 2026, but it’s in the works of being completely rebuilt.
That's not going to happen because they don't run in IMSA. There's always a possibility that we'll get the SC63, but I think iRacing is going to give more focus to oval in '25 because of the upcoming NASCAR game.
I thought it was fanboy talk when people would say RRRE has superior sound. Test drove RRRE after graphics update and holy, the sound IS way better. Kinda ruins ALL the sounds in iRacing.
No it doesn't. There is a real 720S driver here on youtube (James Baldwin) and he also was disappointed with the sound. He even shared a bit of onboard footage to compare it, and the car sounds much better in real life, even with the bad microphone it was recorded with. Besides, iRacing improved the sound of this car with the patch yesterday: "improved in-car engine sound and added transmission and drive train sounds". Clown.
You have no idea who you’re talking to. No need to be rude fella! I facilitate the recording of the actual Pfaff McLaren with very high end gear. The gear does not lie, can’t say the same for a GoPro. I know what it sounds like and the patch yesterday addressed a few minor updates and tranny whine.
@@davecamyt I think that was directed to me. Yeah, it sounds a bit more "throaty and guttural" now if this makes any sense.. Much more like the on board recordings I've heard from the real car, but still not quite there yet. Better that the tamed and synthetic/empty sound it had before, that's for sure.
Idk why everyone is complaining about the sound, probably are the same people who are comparing with ACC and not with real life, i went to a real race and i have a video on my channel, the real car sounds meh, how the sim is supposed to sound better?

3:53 Not exactly lmao
They are not quiet in GTWC!
The reality is this car sounds realistic and realistically, the IRL car sounds like a scrawny squeaky angsty acne-riddled 15/16 year old
Sounds like the Ferrari
Porsche killer?
agghh... now my fave GT3 brand is now tooo damn easy to drive😪
Am I the only one that doesn't have rev lights?
do people really care that much about sound? Just curious. As long as i can hear when to shift gears, it doesn’t matter to me
Not a single car in iRacing that sounds quite like it should. Most disappointing part of iRacing. The best part of motorsports are the sounds.
iRacing needs a better sound engineer . Sorry but not Sorry
Agree. Sound in this game is pretty weak.
Sound of air flow is to quiet… like it more in Rfactor!
It has 6 gears
Shame on the sound, just need a bit more to bite the bullet on this one with the backlog of new GT3s recently
after a couple laps i love it waay better than ferrari
What is it about the new one that you love?
I drove it today and Im not pleased with the way is sounds and it drives like Ferrari 296 mixed with Audi. Im not impressed with handling
first
It sounds EXACTLY like the real car. If you want exaggeration go drive another sim.
No it doesn't. There is a real 720S driver here on youtube (James Baldwin) and he also was disappointed with the sound. He even shared a bit of onboard footage to compare it, and the car sounds much better in real life, even with the bad microphone it was recorded with. Besides, iRacing improved the sound of this car with the patch yesterday: "improved in-car engine sound and added transmission and drive train sounds". Clown.
You have no idea who you’re talking to. No need to be rude fella! I facilitate the recording of the actual Pfaff McLaren with very high end gear. The gear does not lie, can’t say the same for a GoPro. I know what it sounds like and the patch yesterday addressed a few minor updates and tranny whine.
@@greghill6117does it sound different? I've not yet tried it
@@greghill6117 Cut down on the edge and grow up fella 🤡
@@davecamyt I think that was directed to me. Yeah, it sounds a bit more "throaty and guttural" now if this makes any sense.. Much more like the on board recordings I've heard from the real car, but still not quite there yet. Better that the tamed and synthetic/empty sound it had before, that's for sure.
Idk why everyone is complaining about the sound, probably are the same people who are comparing with ACC and not with real life, i went to a real race and i have a video on my channel, the real car sounds meh, how the sim is supposed to sound better?
Gee, another iRacing car that sounds pi55weak and not like a proper racecar engine... why am i not surprised lol
