I think engine/exhaust acoustics is at the bottom of the priorities list when designing a race car.
No doubt but it does play into the "show" aspect/getting people to watch/come to the track...look at all the complaints at F1 since the switch to hybrid turbo V6 configuration and Formula 1 wanting to address that for the new engine package for 2021...so although I agree with you...but it still is important
