Music while you race?

[Tim Ling]

Do you listen to music while you race? Or is the engine like a symphony to you?

 

[Niklas Vesterinen]

Who needs anything else when the engine roar and tyre squeel sounds so damn sweet. Anyway i think music would be far to big of a distraction in a racing environment. Music is ment to be listen to and if you are listening to it while driving you can't be driving you're best and otherwise if you got music playing while you race it's just backround noice wich to me seems pointless.

 

[Roberto Silvestri]

NO, NO ed more NO u can hear...
Engine and Tyre sing for me..

 

[Chris Vick]

Engine and tyres only. Need to be aware of what the car is doing.:thumb:

 

[Dallas Willms]

Same as most above, no music. Even during actual racing at AutoX with just short runs, I find it to be really distracting and I have to shut off my deck.

 

[Rafael Barbosa]

The only music for me is the engine.

 

[John Bergqvist]

since i try to be real as possible, i dont listen to music, plus its distracting.

 

[OzBoz]

I now listen to some dance while racing but I'm trying 80ies, maybe less distracting. Good one George

I would never listen to music while driving. You get so much auditory information during a race that helps keep the on the track. When there is too much load on the engine for the gear your in, when the tires are just begining to scrub, when someone is driving next to you (in your blind spot), etc.

 

[OzBoz]

True about the audio feedback, but I it's just background music for me, think I have the volume around 50 and scrubs etc is higher..

 

[RichardHessels]

I need to hear my wheels blocking, and the high revs of a engine.
So no music for me...

 

[Stirb Iuliu]

Actually, with the music turned on, I can't hear anymore both the engine and the music. So it's either one, either the other one, never both at the same time.


In real life though, I can't drive my cheap car without music in it.

 

[David Lemon]

I have to here the engine too, music is too off putting

 

[Hatta Hakimi]

I have never driven with the music on but I figure that I would distract me too much. I would probably miss some shifts and not really hear the tire scrubs. When you are racing, you should really be focused on the race and not wasting your concentration listening to some musíc.

 

[Panos Vlassopoulos]

Music is distracting me.
Engine sound is the only music.
Also i like to hear the gear changing to be precise.

 

[Jean Michel Rucheton]

I already have a hard time talking and pissing at the same time...

No music for me, too distracting, even if the volume is low. Maybe one day, in Utopia land when I am faster than everybody by 2 seconds a lap, I'll indulge myself with a little tune in the background...

:whistle:

 

[Wizz]

I always drive with the sounds off, you've got to hear the engine and effects.

 

[Wizz]

It's the only way to hear and feel properly what the car is doing.

 

[Mike Simian]

I have the tv/radio/cd on while i drive, can't hear it though over the engine sounds in my headphones. Its nice having music on when you come in to the pits, if its a good choon can help you concentrate for your next stint.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

depending on the mood
most of the times during the pre-qualification of RDWTCC I used music.....and it goes in every genre
during races, especially endurance....never

Engine...
