Thanks john, it's not finished yet. Yes it's 4x8 foot, it's in two 4x4 foot sections which fold to give you two 2x4 foot 'boxes'. The sides are just under 2 inches high, the ramps leading up to them are 12 inches long (apart from the 'fly over') and the ramps down are 6 inches. The guard rails are micro scalectrix rails.

I'm using 1.6 motors in the cars which handle the slopes with ease and are plenty fast enough for a technical track like this. The lanes are about 6 inches wide at the moment which is fine for most of the track but the chicane section is going to be altered to 8 inches or more (I originally thought of making this section slippy so you would have to drift around)

I've had a few test runs and apart from a few small alterations that are now in the pipe line it is fine (difficult but thats what I wanted as I have some guide rails I use to make easier tracks). When it's finished I'll get some decent pics and post them. Sorry for such a long reply , if you want to know anythig else just ask.

I wish I'd seen your track before I started this one I'd have used some of your ideas, oh well maybe on the next one
