Hi, There are no Bounding Boxes on the 5 turn 11 tire barriers on the Sonoma 2013 track, you can drive right through them, Sonoma 2019 ftf you can't drive through them so there are boxed ones, Question would be is there a fix out there or would I have to copy them out of a dat file if possible?
Thanks
Steve

It's possible that it's an intentional decision by the track builder too, but this is a pretty quick fix in Sandbox with a new W section.

This is turn 11 at Sonoma, I am not talking about a wall, these are
the 5 seperate tire barrier objects.

That's because they are 3DO objects, which have no collision physics in NR2003. The only way to get them to have collision physics is to add a W Section in sandbox to that section(s) of the track, the downside of which is that you will hit an invisible wall if you go in between the tire stacks. The original creator of the track probably felt having the tires there visually - not physically - when realistically the cars are meant to *avoid* touching them anyways was the better option.

Ah, Ok I see what you're saying, I think I went through one time and did hit an wall I didn't see, does the wall have to touch the objects to add collision, or does it have to be right on the outer edge of the barriers, as I am writing it's coming more clear of what is actually going on, I think there's already a wall there and it's set back and in the 2019 track it is moved out more. Let me know if got the idea of what's going on.
Thanks for your help.

The actual w section line for the wall should be roughly dead-center of where the tires stacks are. the width of the wall specified in the w section properties should be as wide as the tire stacks are, give or take their placement not being an even radius.
