I went to an Xfinity Series race at Homestead last year, and needless to say I almost lost my hearing. I can’t imagine how loud the Cup Series cars are in person.
Seems like they’re quieter. I’ve been to many races at Daytona and 2012-2014 were the loudest. My last race was 2021 Coke Zero 400 so I haven’t heard the new cars in person yet
I see what you mean about the video part, but these cars in person have a deeper scary like bassy sound in person. It is more louder too. The Gen 6 and the Gen 5 which I experience too had it cleaner if that makes sense. Oh and in terms of loudness, it was there, but they seem to have a cleaner sound... idk, can't explain it, but The Gen 7 is just a blobs of bassy raspy loud sounds though.
They were screaming at Auto Club. I get what you say about them having a meaner sound. Don’t worry everyone you can still blow out your ear drums going to a race.
Oh boy sorry for the late response brother, I have not logged on RU-vid in a while to see my content. Okay, so the main section or gate they call it as is the "chevy gate" which is where pit exit is. Daytona has 3 or 4 main gates. They have the Toyota gate (pit entry before start/finish), Advent Healthcare Center (tri oval or at start/finish) and then the Chevy gate (pit exit after start/finish). I'm not too sure, but before Toyota and after Chevy so basically the way far corner seats of the turn 4 and turn 1 are considered the sunoco gates combined which makes it 4 gates or I guess 5 since part is far behind Toyota gate and one is far ahead of the Chevy gate... idk lol... However, I think this was in the row of the 170's. I went a few years back and I was in the 160's which is amazing too, but I prefer how these were slightly more down from pit exit because the car sounds so badass leaving the pitroad !!! It was a blast !!!
