Below is a first preview video of Brendon Pywell’s Oran Park, the second-laser scanned track to make it into rFactor.
Using techniques such as Aerial Laser Scanning (LiDAR), Real Time Kinematic GPS, and Robotic Total Stations, the track is made with a special edition of Bobs Track Builder and will incude the following features:
- A track surface that fits to within 2cm of the point cloud data.
- Terrain that follows the flow of the Aerial data.
- Walls, fencing and rails that flow with the land.
- 3d saw toothed ripple strips placed according the GPS-RTK data.
- Grass, Track Markings, Advertising signs.
- Hundreds of tyres placed using new String-Object feature to be available in v0.6.
- Over 100 rubbish bins.
Located outside of Sydney, the real track is planned to be demolished despite being a popular Superbike World Championship and V8 Supercar venue. Check out the HD video of the virtual version below, soon coming to your rFactor installation.

Absolutely fantastic :) Seriously guys even if you don’t fancy making your own real world tracks or fantasy tracks, or are doing but are struggling, you really should try save up a little bit of money and purchase BTB. As this will help Brendan, if he’s wanting to do more, to go out and get Australia’s (or others?) tracks laser scanned for rFactor.
Great work once again Brendan & to the others that have contributed to this, can’t wait to drive a realistic version of this soon to be gone track.

Putting aside the annoying music, this is seriously impressive.
Does the string object feature in 0.6 mean that if we hit a tyre barrier, that they will go all over the place and not just be static objects ?
Superb work guys, even down to the nice textures on the tarmac.
Comparison footage really shows off the accuracy.
Can’t wait.

Very impressive.
Might have to put Oran Park back in our V8 championship for 2009.

Amazing work Brendon. I hope laser scanning becomes the new standard for making tracks in all sims.
