The beginning of a track. 1:32 scale
#2

Happy to help! I have some experience building and tweaking tracks with the 6-car Advanced Powerbase (C7042). You said you mostly race alone - will you be using pace cars? Or will you be time-trialing against the clock?

I think to most people "flow" means a lap that is not just the same 'stop-and-start' at each corner. The aim for 'flow' is using various radius turns and different geometries to make each section of the lap different and interesting - and for each section to 'flow' into the next. That's what it means to me. And you only really know a track works when you build it and drive it - then you tweak it to make it better.

I am currently designing, building, testing and tweaking a very simple L shape Scalextric digital track to go round the walls of my office. I have very limited space, but aim for the four corners to each have a different 'feel'. There are a few Radius 1 pieces there (space is very tight), plus some Radius 2s (including a curved lane changer), six Radius 3s and two Radius 4 pieces. You have more space, so can be more creative!

Do you have a track design program on your computer? And how much track do you have already?

Some of the J-Trak modules might be interesting to look at for inspiration: slotracer.online/j-trak/
