Lovely !!
As you say the pit straight is a bit short but is good quality though - very nice.

Albi Slot GP (V2)
It's been a while since I was supposed to take some pictures of my current track. It was even urgent to do it as this track will change place in a few weeks so I had to keep some souvenirs

For those who like to read a bit, there are some texts also here (in French only unfortunately)

I tried to give some details about the conception and building of the track
![]()
Large view of the track. #1 pilot station lower right and #2 far left; both drivers get then a clear and can easily marshall each half of the track.
![]()
The <<Corner>>. Inside, the Martini hairspin (1 R1 with R2 on each side). Outside, the fast BP curve (R4 - R3 - R3 - R4)
![]()
The pits straight. Rather short, it allows anyway to accelerate before the Dunlop left
![]()
The main (back) staright. All cars are able to reach max speed before a quick and light break for the fast BP curve.
More later...

I was also admiring your website (with the assistance of the Google translator as I am unable to read french sadly) and was most interested by your green and white painted crash barriers, what type of paint or process do you use?
I simply used glossy spray paint, 1 white and 1 green (rather dark). Maybe should have I primed the barriers first as scratches have appeared when cars tail in them... I've been inspired by things like this :

Are you planning to get rid of that Sports track or just rebuilding you track ?
(On peut espérer non ?)
Well, I've been running with Scalex Sport for years and it's maybe time to try something else... I've several ideas but more on this subject later

The back curve in <<L>>. In this curve the barriers have been spray painted, white & green. Tribunes were scheduled each side of the track, just before the Dunlop bridge

The Dunlop / Shell curve. A left / right that goes larger to reach the main straight. The Dunlop bridge (2nd one in fact) is an old Jouef

The BP fast bend. It consists of R4 - R3 - R3 - R4
