I used one of the Pedemann Online 'papercraft' start ramps as a template, built it out of foamboard and added my own graphics. The Pedemann site (and other scenic resources) can be found in our Slotcar Alley here: slotracer.online/slotcar-alley/index.php#scenic-section

I would really love to see my Mini racing bumper to bumper with those big American cars, but I am at the very early stages of trying to understand how to set up the little blighter, so it ain't going to happen any time soon!

But have got to say, Class 'C' has alot of charm!

There are some stunning cars in Class C; great work by all involved in each entry  .  Looking forward to seeing my tiny TR4 and the Mini lining up against the big ford Galaxie's 
We almost need a stand-alone class for the GT40's/Mk11's!
