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  Thumbup

Life is like a box of Slot cars... Cool Drinkingcheers

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.  Thumbup

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.  Checkeredflag

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