Oran Park is a truly magnificent circuit in real life. Such a shame that they're closing it down!

But now it will live on forever in a digital version. I just downloaded it and limped around the track using my keyboard, and it looks really great. :woot2:

I tried this on a while ago and it frustrated the hell out of me. I could NOT find my way round it! I wandered around like a lost lamb :sad: I'll load it up though, if that is your desire.

EDIT: Added Oran Park to OP

Hehehehe Yes I had the same problem:D Dave had to show us the way around like a school teacher the first lap or two.
The track is in dire need of some famous Doorman hay bales to keep everyone on track:roflmao:

Todd, you're spot on!

I've just driven about a dozen laps in a 906. Fantastic! It's in the rotation. :thumbsup2:

Nice...it brought back my V8 Supercars racing days!! I just love the Ausie
Tracks that they run so I went on a mission to find them all.
Some other must haves for your collection are Phillip Island and Wanneroo.

I wish!
No we are talking pixelated cars on pixelated tracks here :lmfao:

I think it was the Toca Race Driver 1, 2 and 3 that I first tried most of the Ausie Tracks with the V8 supercars. Then later with Rfactor and the Excellent V8 Factor mod. Give it a shot, the sounds and car model are
quite good.

I would suggest this order of installation for those who are "fiddle" handicapped :roflmao:

1. http://www.dcarrsmith.com/rfactor/mods/V8Factor_2006_v1.exe

2. http://www.v8gaming.com/files/V8F_HiResUpdate.zip

3. http://www.austraracing.com/shared/Shauns%20Stuff/V8F_2006_Patch_v1.1.exe

4. http://rapidshare.com/files/68734402/V8F_FullHiResSkinUpdateForPatch1-1.zip

5. http://stats.austeamracing.com/Downloads/V8F_2006_Patch_v1.1_to_v1.2.rar

The modern day Bathurst (Mount Panorama curcuit) is included with this mod.
Enjoy!!

Nice suggestions for tracks Dave. Barbagallo is a blast to drive on, nice short track with a big ol' hill

spoong · June 06, 2009, 11:34:27 AM

Now then. Got a copy of GTL, got Rfactor, got the HistoriX mod - do I just need to complete the set with all the tracks in the original post and I'll be away? Or are there other fiddlings to be done?

Does it run ok? If so, get the tracks and you're good to go. There ARE fiddlings, but of the 'fine tuning to your requirements' variety of which there are numerous.

However, I would refer you to THIS post.

In those stakes I have less to lose than most. Can't get HistoriX running ATM though, downloaded it twice and got corrupt files both times. Will continue to faff.

First off, thanks for registering and welcome. Unfortunately I've had a router disaster and have had to order a new one. Should be here by Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm getting bad tempered with withdrawal symptoms, so it'll be up as soon as I can. Watch this space!
