So have had a think...

One arrangement could be this on an 8x4 board that comes out at weekend to check basic balance and characteristics of cars: -
   

And something like one or other of these routed beauties on a table out in the garage to stretch the motors a bit and to find the limits of tyre adhesion: -
     

   

But I have no router, let alone any routing skills. If I was to learn the art of routing a wooden track, would there be any benefit is starting by making a smaller 8x4 track first? How would that layout differ to one based on Scalextric track pieces? 

[Does anyone make bespoke routed tracks for sale to the UK? I think I saw a modular type product made in Australia.]
