– I added palm trees, helicopters and some other tsos that were missing – I changed some of the dynamic lighting effects to make the track more fps friendly and more realistic – I added addtional adverted to the V8 Supercars layout to more accurately reflect that year of the series – I included the texture update by Alex and applied it to all layout. – I converted the track from Rfactor to GTR2 This track includes all five layout of the Bahrain International Circuit :īahrain Sakhir 24 Hours – Endurance Racing And the texture update by Alex Schely makes the track come alive with color and life, truely artistic! Please thank them when you can for the outstanding job they did increating this track, it is truely addictive. CTDP created a masterpiece when they did this track, the update truely makes their work even more astounding. In the end, the circuit was not quite fully complete, but was good enough for the grand prix to go ahead.įirst of all I want to thank CTDP modeling for giving me the permission to convert this track to GTR2. Race organizers were worried that the circuit would not be complete in time for the 2004 Bahrain Grand Prix and attempted to cancel the event however, Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone refused this request. TRL was asked to build the circuit, headed by Patrick Brogan. The Crown Prince is the Honorary President of the Bahrain Motor Federation. The construction of the Bahrain circuit was a national objective for Bahrain, initiated by the Crown Prince, Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. 24 Hour endurance races are also hosted at BIC.
However, the V8 Supercars did not return for the 2011 V8 Supercar season. Beginning in 2006, Australian V8 Supercars raced at the BIC, with the event known as the Desert 400. The 2004 Grand Prix was the first held in the Middle East. The Bahrain International Circuit is a motorsport venue opened in 2004 and used for drag racing, GP2 Series and the annual Bahrain Grand Prix. Loading OEM LODS and trackmaps, thanks to them for that extra touch The massive texture update to the track BTW, I attempted to contact him several times including on his facebook page with no luck so I hope this credit suffices, because I could not get his permission for including it in the track, but the update was so substancial and brought the track to the present appearence that I felt it was vital to include it, thanks you Mr. Original rFactor Track plus improved additional layouts (see included rFactor ReadMe.txt file) However, it requires much more time and efforts and doesn't save you from using the converter and TrackED as there are no editors which can produce a ready-to-go track for Kart Racing Pro.Updated by derDumeklemmer from (see below) When creating a track from scratch, you can actually use any 3D editing software which is capable of exporting to an FBX format. First iterations may not be perfect, but you'll get an understanding how the workflow goes and the quality will improve. Then you'll get your FBX file and will be able to proceed to FBX2EDF and then TrackED to finalise things. Just follow the Guide, rename objects and convert textures. Well, a learning curve will be involved, but it's definitely not rocket science Perhaps, converting an Assetto Corsa track is a bit ambitious for a beginner, but an rFactor one – why not? 3DSimED and GIMP will be quite sufficient for this task.
