There is a rundown of track design software in the Manual. But basically if you are using a windows PC, then Ultimate Racer is the best, and SlotMan is a free if outdated alternative.

As for your track design, I think if you want more track or less space, then you may need to use more R1 corners, and/or go for some bridges and elevation...

This might look like a figure of eight, but technically it's not so it doesn't have equal lane lengths. There is plenty of track though, not too many R1s but poor visibility on one corner.



This one is a genuine figure of eight so has equal lane lengths, and perhaps more importantly if you are mostly racing on your own, an equal balance of right and left hand corners.



This one is a big bridge and valley design, which has the advantage of maximising the length of the main straight. However there are a lot of R1s, and visibility is poor on three of the corners.



Are you sure the dimensions you posted are correct, it's just your track looks bigger than that?

Yeah well I put in a conservative 1.05m width as in the middle of the track, I have my desktop char, which i need to slide back slightly to get up from the desk, which is why i went for the figure of 8 track design. The sides can actually go wider - 1.28m infact, I just need it to be under 1.05m in the middle if that makes sense?

Amazing thank you! I will purchase Ultimate Racer as I use a desktop pc all the time in the same room as the track, those designs look amazing I wasn't aware that I could fit such a track in this small space - very happy and excited! I guess that's the beauty of scalextric right

Regarding size, I do have more space on either end, 1.3m infact, it's just that in the middle of the track is where my desktop chair needs to slide back a little, which is why I went with the figure 8 design, so in the middle it's 1.05m width but either side is 1.3 meters, does that make sense? Basically where I'm standing in the pic the char needs to be.
