With the new Formula 1 season about to start, here’s a sneak preview of rFpro’s latest update for Melbourne. Built from a brand new LiDAR survey and, for the first time as part of rFpro’s Track maintenance programme, this model makes use of the physically modelled materials developed for rFpro’s ADAS and autonomous customers. This...

During 2017 rFpro invested in LiDAR scanning and building accurate circuit models for all the events on the calendar. As of November 2017 seven Formula E entrants are using rFpro for their simulated vehicle development and testing. We are now starting the F-E Annual Circuit Maintenance contract to keep our customers’ investments protected against future...

We have enjoyed the challenge of LiDAR surveying Sepang and keeping the circuit model up to date, but this weekend is the last time Sepang appears on the F1 calendar. We will miss you.

The Ford Performance Technical Center have released a video showing one of their simulators, in this case being used for motorsport engineering development for their GT car programme ahead of last year’s Le Mans 24 Hours. Ford-Performance-Racing-Simulator from rFpro on Vimeo.
