Here's a binaural video from the recent Cadillac Racing test session at Imola Circuit ahead of the 2024 season, during which the Italian track will host a round of the FIA WEC (World Endurance Championship). I was at the second day, out of two, of testing, and the footage you see up here is from the morning.

The Cadillac has been developed under the "Le Mans Daytona h" (LMDh) regulations which allows it to be fielded alongside Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) entries in the Hypercar class of the FIA WEC or in the GTP class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship. Compared to Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) rule set, in which there's much more freedom in designing the car, LMDh teams are forced to rely on one of the 4 chassis manufacturers chosen by ACO and IMSA (Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic and Oreca) in order to have a base from which to build their own vehicle. Cadillac continued their partnership with Dallara, taking most of the experience from their previous DPi-V.R into the new project.

The V-Series.R is powered by a Cadillac LMC55R 5.5-litre DOHC V8 linked to a 7-speed sequential gearbox and to the mandatory 50kW hybrid system.

-- What the hell is a 3D/Binaural recording? --
Binaural recordings are reproductions of sound the way human ears hear it. Traditionally, recordings have been made using mono or stereo. Mono uses a single microphone while stereo uses two, spaced apart from each
other. Binaural recording takes the stereo method one step further by placing two microphones approximately
at the same average distance that exists between one and the other human ear. To recreate the best effect
you must put the microphones in your ears or by using a "dummy head" (wherein a mannequin head is outfitted
with a microphone in each ear) because having a real head or a head shape that separates the two
microphones is what makes the magic works. In fact if a car passes on your left side the sound will take a
few extra microseconds to reach the right ear and it will also be louder in one ear (left) than the other.
This is caused by the fact we have a thick skull and spongy brain between the two ears and sound waves
interact with the physical constitution of the listener and the surrounding space. Instead of following the
cars like I'm used to do with my 'standard', stereo videos, keeping the microphone static (and so the
camera) the surround and depth effect typical of the binaural recordings is enanched.
