5 out of 8. Unless you follow F1 like a diehard, hard to tell the V8 & V10's loud pitch apart. I know where I messed up on the Ferrari V12, as I've heard the actual clip it's from.

6/8. Somehow mixed up the Enzo and the Lamborghini. Then when I listened back I realized it. Kinda like one of my exams last semester.

8\8. The most difficult differentiation was between the v10 and the new v6, however, that six has to work it's balls off and you can faintly hear the turbo whine beneath it. Quite proud of myself actually.

6/8. I messed up the V10 and V12 F1 cars. Did better than I expected.

This was fun, thanks.

oh yeah I did it more by a process of elimination, not by really being able to recognize the sound. I don't think a Gallardo sounds like what they have there. lol

5/8. Got all the road cars correct, botched up the V6, V8 and V12 Formula 1 sounds. Guess I can't complain about the new F1 engine note.

The Aston and Bugatti were unmistakeable. Still, I wasn't 100% confident in my answers.

yeah the only cars I was 100% certain on were the Aston and Bugatti.

I'm primarily glad I got the F1 V10.

I digressed because I kept listening to the V10 Williams clip over and over again on purpose. Love that sound.

3/8

Thanks for posting this.

6/8

I mixed up the F1 V10 and V12 (hangs head in shame being an F1 fan). My own fault for not listening to them more than once. I went back and listened again, and it was clear.

2/8 here. The F1 cars are pretty hard to distinguish but I mixed up the DB9 and the Ferrari somehow...
