You probably noticed that all cars sound the same. I found a way that might let us change car sounds, so every car would have it's own sound.
It would involve an application running in the background which would monitor unassigned keys, and in case one of them was pressed, it would change the car sound.

For example if the sound for Dodge Ram is set to "q", the application would replace the current audio file with the one of Dodge Ram.
The only problem is that the player would have to select the car sound before the game loads because replacing the sound while the audio file is used by the game would cause an error, or in case the audio is loaded in RAM, nothing would happen.
By "before the game loads" I mean, that the player would have to choose car sound while in the main menu, not while driving.

If someone could provide me with car sounds, i could try to do that.

Actually, it works quite fine.
You can download it here:
http://download.gameapollo.com/driver_sounds.zip

Extract the archive to driver_root\Audio\sounds
Run the executable

it will display you the list of controls.
currently, a is for F1 sound, and b is for Buick Skylark sound.

i'm working on a newer verision that will have more sounds.

NOTE: when changing sounds while playing, minimize driver window first, select the window of the program and then press a or b (or whatever you set them to).

Also, if you change them during the game, you have to exit to driver menu and start again to make the game load new car sounds into RAM.
