Very nice track design. One of the better narrow tracks I ve seen.

Thanks, trying to make the most of the space without just cramming loads of track in!

Thanks. Yes, it's good fun, and should be better once I can get the borders and elevations sorted!

Thanks, yes, pretty pleased with it. There's been some very minor tweaks to the downhill section but otherwise I'm really enjoying it!

Pleased with how that corner came out, and it's a nice corner to drive around too

Loving the channel mate.I noticed what looks like a Rc car battery charger (the fusion branded box) are you using that as a power supply

Thanks, yes, it's a Fusion 200w variable power supply. Means I can turn the voltage up/down for different cars, and for when the kids want to play

Excellent use of the space, I notice you have a track printout on your wall, can I ask which software you used (if any) to design the track please?

Thanks. I actually drew up the pieces on AutoCAD and designed it from there. I know there are dedicated track layout programmes out there, but I use CAD for work anyway. Plus I like the fact you can easily move whole track sections around, mirror them etc. I've got a load of corner ideas on there which I can move around and see what works/what doesn't etc.

Great narrow track, only one single problem.. For as long as your corners aren't PERFECTLY balanced, a layout like that NEEDS a single lane swap section. If you don't add one, you'll always have one lane longer than the other. The lane swap makes all cars travel both lanes, making all cars travel same distance.

I see what you’re saying; but this would also have the effect of creating a single lane meaning I couldn’t race or control two cars simultaneously. Haven’t measured the lane lengths on this layout yet but yes, one lane will certainly be longer than the other. How significantly this will affect lap time differences between lanes 1&2 is yet to be found out as I’m still sorting borders and ironing out a couple of minor power drops on one lane before reliable comparisons can be made. Previously, I have used strategically placed crossovers to even up the amount a car runs on the inside or outside of the various corners to good affect, but these will need to be utilised in pairs to keep two separate running lanes.

@@ClassicSlotcar To me it looks like the outer track is outside in 3 hairpins, while the inner is in one. That makes it unbalanced and the outer track should be much slower than the inner one, not only for the length, but also for the driveability. Anyone racing on that track would choose one track over the other and gain an advantage just for the track alone..

It's grown over the years! Started with a compact layout at one end of the room, which slowly extended into my workspace. Now it takes over the whole cabin!

Hey Boss! What’s the lengths and widths of each section? Looking to do a narrow layout similar to yours.

Hey there! Across the back wall the table is 4.1m x 0.95m. The “carousel” bit extends down 1.3m and is 1.0m wide

I like analogue to be honest. I’ve considered digital in the past, but I race at an analogue club and all my cars are analog so I’d have the expense of converting loads of them to just use them at home. As I race solo at home I do like the idea of ghost cars functions, but for me at least, there’s very little I’d gain from it from a massive expense and hassle.
