1:32 Scalextric Sport - 27 feet per lap

hahahaha nice !!! i love scalextric .... i had a set when i was younger ....

LOL, cool.

My scalextrics is set up in the loft, but its pretty dark up there (no proper lighting, just a host of desk lamps) and it gets seriously hot up there this time of year.

I think I've got a track which is similar in length to that (maybe a tad longer, it folds in on itself a bit)

By the way, since this is walking a fine line between being in this forum, and being in Armchair Enthusiast can we keep it specifically to the tracks or it'll have to move to AE :)

mine looked a bit like silverstone my track .... it was the formula 1 cars i had, although i did by the Team lark Mclaren f1 GTR and Jaguar Xj220

Quick map of my layout..

I think its quite cool, the main straight's a couple of metres long, which isn't bad for a scalextrics track, and the rest of the track is pretty technical but still good fun.

That's a pretty cool track, P. Worthy of an edit, maybe?! :)

Well, considering you've only got a narrow set options (6 or 7 types of curve, 4 or 5 different straights), probably not worth it!
Unless you mean as though it were a real track ;)

The latter... :cool:

As a point of information, in the slot car world the crossover is used, particularly for short tracks like mine, to equalize lane length and to assure that each driver has about the same number of inside and outside lanes. Not, of course, as critical on longer slot tracks or in the real world.

That being said, a famous example of an actual circuit with a crossover is the Suzuka Circuit in Japan (home of the Japanese Grand Prix):

Since Suzaka is owned by Honda, I would speculate that the crossover may be to assure an equal number of left and right turns for corporate vehicle test purposes.

Or maybe just because it is - Ah so, cool! ;) I sure do like it!

Finally:

My custom routed wood, 75 foot per lap, slot track from the '60's. (http://palmeter.com/SlotCarsW14P04.htm)

I really miss the old track! :(

Well, I have nobody to race :( So I go for solo challenge instead.
