By noise only :

(It's road cars and F1 cars, BTW)

5 from 8 here, as I found the road cars a bit tricksy.

0/8

This may either be due to:

My deafness. This does not help when it comes to sound-related competitions.

My youth. I have not had enough time to listen to various engines and note what car they power.

(No, of course I'm not trying to excuse my blatant lack of knowledge!)

5/8 - got the 3 high-pitched screams mixed up, probably because I don't watch F1.

Blimey! I have completely surprised myself and got 8/8!!!!

I actually thought the F1 engines were the easiest - God I miss those V10s

I was more worried about the road cars.

That is piss poor.

When I listened to them again after getting a score I realised a *very* basic error, I was spending too much time listening to the detail of the sound and completely failed to pick up that the F1 cars were going past a stationary microphone where as the road cars the microphone was on board...

Doh!
