First TOCA Race Driver Screens News

The roar of the mightiest performance cars have been recorded for use in Codemastersâ TOCA Race Driver, the all-new title in the 3.5 million selling race game series, due in June 2002.
Engine sounds were recently sampled and recorded at MIRA, in the companyâs Semi-Anechoic Chassis Dynamometer â“ a rolling road chamber â“ where both the sound recording equipment and the cars were pushed to their limits, with the cars ârunningâ at speeds up to 120mph.
Cars for recording were installed onto the Semi-Anechoic Chassis Dynamometerâs rollers and secured using wheel clamps and very strong straps. With sound equipment fixed in, the cars accelerated on the rollers and the resulting series of sounds recorded for engine and exhaust noises covering many different rev ranges. Ironically, MIRA usually uses the chamber as a tool for reducing vehicle noise and improving refinement!
The rollers can have resistance built into them, which simulates wind and drag, providing for sounds that would effect a carâs engine noise. The cars were driven at different racing speeds to achieve the right sounds for TOCA Race Driver; often at such speeds that the carâs wheels started spinning and skidding on the rollers. The sound equipment also took a hammering too; in one session the heat from the engine was so intense that a silver metal microphone turned blue!
