Anyone with a shred of logic should know that volume and recording differences can make for substantial audio differences with such comparisons.
Some volume-"clipping" might be desirable to catch the excitement of sitting in a very loud race car, but I'm not sure where the 599xx falls. Is it already "race" loudness or still production car comfort.
Anyway, I absolutely don't want to say that @TEH-CJ's post wasn't bad drive-by hyperbole, but still... that everybody here jumps to defend Driveclub's sound engineering..?? That's a little silly.
Realistically you can say that Driveclub sounds "ok". Yes, GT6 sounds
terrible by comparison, but Driveclub is very all-over-the-place. Some cars sound exciting and more accurate than in Forza, but in some cars their individual sound characteristics are show-off overdone, then there also are cars that sound more or less indistinguishable from cars that should sound very different. Also the cockpit sound muffling in DC is neither accurate nor exciting/fun - to a degree where at times a 6 litre V8 doesn't sound too different from a 2 litre 4 cylinder engine.
Assetto Corsa has a good balance between excitement and accuracy, but the sound design might be too much on the sim-side for a title like Driveclub.
This comparison will be unfair(I mean it!), since R3E has less cars and probably takes more time and money to model a single car, also they're almost all race- and not production cars, but still... listen to this:

You hear cylinder count,engine displacement, turbo, wastegate, exhaust crackling, transmission getting louder with speed, better tyre sounds than in most games.
Just wanted to say, don't defend Driveclub's sound accuracy, when you would disappointedly join someone who is pointing out minor inaccuracies in the looks of a car in DC (of which there probably are close to none to begin with).
Thanks.
