Back then you'd hear the cars bouncing off the traction control rev limiter until full grip. Loud as hell. Sounded like a face paced one-armed drummer with traction control kicked in.
The "cracking" sounds made me feel like several machine guns were being fired at us and I had to resist the urge to keep my head down to dodge the bullets.
