Eastern Creek Raceway, Sydney Australia has been laser scanned.
Using a customised version of Bob's Track Builder the laser point cloud is used to lay a track and terrain down in order to make the most accurate track possible.

... for all their assistance in getting this track race ready.
1.01 - fixes (thanks to Krunch & ennisfargis).
- DX7/8 problems.
- Starting Lights / Sounds not working.
Known Issues (to be fixed in 1.02):
- Timing Gates not covering all paths.
- Some ripple acting like grass, not concrete.
- Ground textures not as good as they should have been in DX7 & 8.
Weird or what? I downloaded it AGAIN, this time via the Bob's track builder site (RapidShare) this time it works perfectly. You can stand down now

I must be missing something important. I still get no start lights or sounds. I've re-downloaded it and the same result.

hi there, I echo mcfritts comments. In V8 Factor the AI scream into pitlane and if you're unlucky enough to be in front they'll ram you at high speed and lose a wheel or two. I also noticed the AI sometimes squeeze you off the track when they pass you, especially exiting the final corner. Although this is the way most V8 Supercar drivers drive . I also drove too fast into pit lane and didn't receive a penalty so perhaps the pit entry line code is faulty? Other than that the track itself is magnificent. Don't mind the bumps.

Where can I get that Chrysler?

Unfortunately the bumpiness is due to the limitations of the scanner I used for this track. I would one day like to revisit the track with a better scanner and more time but nothing like that is planned for now.

Great track Piddy well done
One comment though, it's a bit bumpy compared to the real track. Especially down the main straight and from turn 1 through to turn 2. The real track isn't this bumpy. Is this likely to be fixed in an upcoming patch?
Thanks.

Two additional remarks: AI changes direction very abruptly when entering or leaving the pits, which can become very dangerous. Sometimes they even have trouble properly entering the pit lane. Have already seen several crashes. 2nd: AI enters the pits very fast, too fast. I have observed cars entering at more than 200 kph, which would normally end in a penalty. Greetings!
