Danny,
“Hell's circuit” looks pretty "Heavenly" to me, nicely fitted into a limited amount space. I like your pit building and those lights look really nice too you’ll have to show us a night time shot. I like those little green and white posts on the inside of the bends however they could be the destruction for some of your cars yikes.gif
The whole thing looks solid and professionally done it looks like a great little track to race on. Will you be covering the screw holes as the may be an obstacle to be avoided as they are right in the driving line yikes.gif The track is very neat and will no doubt provide hours of racing fun. clap.gif clap.gif clap.gif

Well Done

and a close-up of the selfmade lights (on my previous track):



Room space is 5.4 meter by 2.4 meter.

John,
this is how the sections are joined:

One side of a wooden MDF strip (*/-14 cm) is glued on section A, the other is fixed with a hexadiagonal screw on section B.
This gives a very strong, untwistable connection.

It would be a very dark night, as the spots are not connected yet biggrin.gif







The dimmer (Yellow potentiometer) for the spots is already installed.

Very nicely engineered! To have a track like that in such a small space is a miracle. It must make for some very close racing.

Jaak, I'm sorry but there is...
