After having the entire TrackMate Gantry and hardware in place and actually racing proper races now I can see the main problem with an overhead gantry and that is if it is located anywhere near or too soon after a corner and cars slide out they do clip the gantry, need to move the gantry hardware further into the straight again.
I am looking at some sort of customisation for this gantry design to move the supporting legs out further completely away from the track altogether, though, I really can't do this until I work out what is being replaced as I don't want to damage/modify anything until that is determined (I should actually email this enquiry through today).
I've since got the TrackMate hardware setup and running well with Race Coordinator which was easy to accomplish and Dave actually provides the information on how to do this within his FAQ.
This C-19 crap has really put a complete stop to 99% of anything currently happening, for us all. So patience is just required.
As mentioned by DPJ regarding the guide, I've been noticing only a few cars that I need to replace these with as they deslot so easily having very small guide depths. Tuning will be concentrated more so on cars now rather than the track as the track is easy to relocate the gantry etc. Hopefully this week with the new location and spacing of driver stations the system will be better for everyone.
