Well, not at close range, but some of the dopplered sounds made by the 
podracers going past the camera were identical to the sounds made by F1 
cars going past the camera. Some of the in-cockpit sounds effects had 
gear-shift noises, too, which you absolutely don't get with a turbine.

Yes. I wasn't implying that *all* of the sound effects were F1. Mainly 
the high-speed flybys. They did the same thing in ROTJ with the speeders 
on Endor, except the car-like sounds were masked more cleverly in that.

Not a major criticism, it definitely works well and evokes speed!
