Sounds on both these cars are completely wrong.
The intake, exhaust, motor, turbo blow off valve… It’s all wrong.
Also the samples sound squashed, weak and tiny. Are the car sounds not recorded in Dolby 5.1 at least?
@opencamswrx Man, glad you posted about this. The car sounds really wrong.
Demo:
Actual sounds of the cars:
We need a sound update for this car. It’s compulsory.

Have you played Assetto Corsa and PCARS 2 on the Xbox? They both have really accurate samples for both the P1 and P1 GTR. Fraction of the budget, mind you!

I did play PCars2 and Assetto Corsa. In fact, I played Assetto Corsa more than Pcars2 though and amazes me every time, how accurately they get the sound right. And yup, fraction of the budget with high quality car sounds and performance. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

All of them sound dreadful, suppressed, quiet and compressed. So I don’t want to create a separate thread for every single one!
The P1s sound especially bad I think someone already created a thread about those, more than one users.
The P1 e.g. is not supposed to sound suppressed and rumbly like a 720S or some other McLaren road car but rather needs to have the metallic and mechanical sound from the real P1 complete with loud blow off valve sound.
Two games that do justice to the P1 and P1 GTR is Assetto Corsa and Project Cars 2.
Please at least start with the P1s. They sound terrible and nothing like the actual cars.

So badly want the real sound for this car as it’s such a lovely, mechanical sound with the loud blow off valve on off throttle/coasting. Here’s hoping.
Game’s sound right now is just terrible. Totally undrivable.

When’s the sound getting updated for the P1? It sounds downright dreadful. At least FM 5 to 7 had a mildly realistic sound.
Please update this car at the earliest. I don’t feel like driving it because of how poor it sounds. Assetto Corsa has a great sample, 100% accurate to the real car. Please use that as a base and add your touch to it to make it as close to the real car as possible.

Excellent, bug logged. Looking forward to hearing the real sound of the P1 and P1 GTR.

I hope we will get an epic update to both these cars - Assetto Corsa has a near-perfect reference for both, as does PCARS2.
Undeniably one of the most dreadful sounding cars in the game. Nothing sounds right - not the motor, exhaust, off throttle pops and bangs, turbo spool and blow off valve, nothing.
How long do we have to put up with this ugly and low quality placeholder sound?
Will you not be re-recording the P1 and P1 GTR as part of your larger audio initiative? Both sound dreadful and deserve a proper recording session!
Bug logged. When can we expect an update?
I can’t stand the placeholder sound of this car. It’s dreadful, droney, loopy and robotic sounding, does my head in and makes me sleepy.
When are we getting the real P1 sound? The LFA got two updates and is now among the most beautiful sounding cars in the game.
The P1 deserves it’s own unique sound.
So, after being reported in much earlier than February by multiple users, we finally got a sound update.
It’s a bit disappointing.
While it’s a slight improvement over the previous sample it’s not the true sound of the P1 and the turbo sound is almost completely off - or rather it’s practically absent.
The real one has a prominent turbo spool sound and the blow off valve sound upon off-throttle is particularly loud. Both these are absent.
It’s better than the previous sample but major improvements still required.
Okay so the updated P1 sample does have the turbo sound and it’s rather nice but ONLY properly audible in bumper and bonnet cam.
It should be the loudest in cockpit and chase as the driver’s sitting very close to the turbo!
Also, the engine revs and exhaust signature needs to be louder and more “oomphy” or pronounced on the downshifts and off-throttle/coasting.
@ManteoMax Can you please relay this to Mike and the team, Max?
Sorry for tagging you but this urgently needs to go out to Mike and Nick. I think perhaps they forgot to paste the turbo sound as-is to the other views. It sounds quite nice in the first person views and so we need to paste the turbo sound as-is to cockpit and chase please!
Love the updated sample, way better than the previous one. I can hear and feel the character of the car but please consider integrating the above feedback. Thank you for your persistent hard work, Mike and Nick!

Thanks for trying Mike and Nick but sorry to say, it seems like a half hearted attempt. Please look at these real life videos:
This is to give you an idea of how wrong the game’s sound is. It doesn’t have that mechanical and metallic sound of the real car and instead has some made up sound which appears to be a 720S-Senna hybrid. The turbo whoosh and blow-off valve is missing from cockpit, something which the car is very well known for. The off throttle and downshifting sounds are completely missing, there’s no character to it.
The current sound in the game sounds nothing like the actual car although much improved over the rubbish placeholder sound we had. The updated sound is still lackluster, unfortunately:
Both the P1 and P1 GTR are off by nearly a mile. The GTR is supposed to have a slightly revvier and more aggressive sound, but again almost none of the details from the real cars in both cases.
If PCARS 2 and Assetto Corsa can nail the sound with such a small team and severely limited resources, why can’t you guys put some effort into it? The V12 Ferraris turned out nicely but the P1s still require a lot of work. Please improve the sounds on both these cars and make them sound like the actual ones not some pseudo cool sounding Hollywood gimmick sound!
Copying you guys here so maybe you can add your thoughts and escalate this. Needs more votes and urgency because the sound isn’t even close to the actual cars.

I wonder if this car is getting sound improvements? I’ve been studying some of the comments above and agree to the fact that Assetto Corsa has an almost perfect sound for this car for all instances: upshift, downshift, acceleration, deceleration, turbo, flyby, etc.
@Speedster996 @opencamswrx @Gojo665
I detect one another game having a “Sounds spot on like real life” P1 sound:
NFS Rivals
Ghost Games and Criterion Games are the devs behind that game, yet they managed to nail the McLaren M838T sound for their 2013 game. Even the 12C sounds spot on in there as well.
That’s sounds incredibly good. It’s still shocking to see how the Forza team struggles to get car sound character right.
The upshifting is the only issue in that video though. It shouldn’t have paused or hiccups.
The sound in update 20 seems pretty solid to me
