Japanese car nuts build racecars powered by shouting 'Brrrm! Brrrrrm!'
A team of Japanese car enthusiasts, backed by Nissan, have created a toy racetrack where cars speed along dependent on the driver's ability to imitate a V6 in full throttle. The "Voice Driver Cup" is a PR stunt promoting Nissan's new sports model, the Fair Lady 370Z, but involves Japanese developers making car noises into …

"...we'd like to see players imitating the screech of breaks..."
Whilst both might lengthen your journey time, "breaks" are a job for the local garage. "Brakes" are the things that intentionally slow you down.
Re: Braking wind
Depends on the age of the vehicle you are simulating... Break for brake seems to be a 19thC usage: you find it in historic reports of railway accidents for instance. Typos, on the other hand, are a familiar part of the human experience right back to theinvention of typography.

"Probably applied with a 'peddle'..."
Just chucked that in, did you?

That's not a typo. A typo is when you inadvertently type something you did not intend. Hence "typographical" and "error".

How About Dog-Fights?
No, not the "woof, woof, grrrrrrr" kind, rather "ratta-tat-tat-tat-tat" and watch your opponent's Zero crash into the ocean. I can see it now, the Monty Python reenactment of the Battle of Midway.

Don't make an F1 version!
It'll only encourage people to make Crazy Frog sounds.
Is it just me?
Or Nissan have way way to much cash to burn? I think it is the single most idiotic usage of technology I have seen so far. Last time I did "vroom" with little cars I was around 5 years old. Is the new generation capable of some maturity? Now get off my lawn kids!
Re: cash?!
So what's going to be more expensive, letting a handful of Moss types in a room play with a scalectrix set, two ipads and a soldering setup, or take real cars outside in a landscape to be filmed as usual from a helicopter as well as a truck? Come on, math is not that hard.
Re: Is it just me?
Yes, it's you.
By Japanese standards, this is hardly childish.
Apparently
If you make turbo "Whoosh!" noises you get an extra speed boost.

unfair
This race is rigged: the guy in the inner track has an awful lot of advantage.

"there will be a smartphone app out soon - for those who want to make the noises but don't have the space for a physical race track."
Great. Another source of annoyance from commuters who are incapable of existing without some sort of death grip on a telephone .
