Hi Kevan,

My humble apologies. I do not have any videos. An area I have yet to explore.

I'm still trying to figure out how to perfect still photos.

I've seen your photos...and they're super... next job, video

Here we go then after a little delay things are underway!
Today i built my base ready for drawing out the track it measures 230cm x 230cm x 60 excuse the mess in the pictures I have tidying to do it won't be a very big track but its the space I have.

Just an idea after seeing your boat:
Maybe a small part of the middle space can be converted into a lake, so that the sailboat becomes part of your scenic race track.
Good luck with your track.

I've had a preliminary draw using compasses rulers gauges etc. but resorted to freehand  I have drawn the slot the road will be drawn when that's routed then I'll cut it out so the back can be elevated. There will probably be a few tweaks  but im pretty happy so far trying to keep it quick and flowing.

Hi Dave,

I hope there is enough distance left between the wall and the slot.
For sliding, approximately 10 cm is needed.

Yes it is 10cm I have drawn a faint line 10cm all round before marking up the track.

Dave,

Looks great so far. 

Back in 1971. I remember learning to use the yellow fences on my Strombecker set to hold the car on the track while I hit full throttle. You could corner as if the car had magnets, and easily overtake the inside lane every time. 

The hard part was trying not to make it obvious. Always allow your opponent to think they have a chance to win.

This morning I got to work with the router I took the boards to work and did the work in an empty unit seeing as it was stormy outside I couldn't do it at home.
There were a couple of minor hiccups but nothing that can't be sorted and quite pleased with my first attempt.

A little elevation to the rear track section im not 100% what scenery yet if to go race track or road circuit im sure I'll think of something I have few ideas knocking around in my head

Elevation differences give a track an extra dimension and challenge.
It looks very promising.
