Acura's race-winning ARX-06 hybrid GTP car sounds like it has Star Wars' Chewbacca in the exhaust pipes, so we asked HRC US president David Salters to explain the strange sounds emanating from the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship machine, and as it turns out, the answer involves horses.

Reminds me of the blown diffusers in F1 years ago, sounds awesome.

Just what I've always wanted in a race car: JAKE BRAKES

This is why the Honda engine sounded so unique in F1! Love it!

This is so good! Love Acura and IMSA for leaning into this gag ^_^ the sound itself under braking reminds me of the Ford GTs in the GTLM class from a few years ago, they would make a noise under braking which I think was to do with the turbo anti-lag IIRC?

Funnily the Oreca based Alpine A424 makes the same noise on braking

IMSA is the absolute GOAT of sports for ME personally.

Thought it was gonna be similar to blown diffusers in F1. Turns out it's mostly engine braking.

Maybe you guys should have fed the critter and kept the car in the race the full duration?

Please rebrand the ARX06 as a Honda and bring it to Le Mans. Would love to see it go against Toyota

What does he mean when he says the MGU is "holding back" the car mid-corner? I still don't understand.
