Gday
i have just started on making a track using scalextric sports digital
Ferrari raceway came to my head because i love ferraris (what teen doesnt) but still
here is a track desine

it isnt corrent as i have lenthend the start finish straght but then run out of straight track so i have to shorten it again (but not as much as on the plans here)
im realy only going to race f1 on this track and im going to put it packable wooden boards when i scenerise.
Thanks
RW fan
P.S. i will put a picture of the new desine asap

Awsome mate
Lookin fwd to the piccys, the hardest thing is getting the right design

Thanks
ive got the desine but ive run out of track while setting up the track

What track do you need, I have LOTS am slowly sellin it on eBay. I bought a few job lots to complete my set-up and am now gettin rid of everything else

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]

thanks do you have a left hand pit lane track or grid slot tracks or radios 2 corners no thanks

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]

hi here is the new plan

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]

um here is my desine

RW,

Only thing I'll say is that the inside lane has a serious advantage, you could mitigate this advantage by extending the right hand R1 area and extending it to closer to the left hand side.

as it's digital it doesnt realy matter about it
so you get your self into the inside lane and dont shift intill you need to pit!

I'm in the software design phase too and this question is the one thing I'm still not clear on.

Is it, as RW says, a good thing to have one lane with an advantage - whether by being shorter or quicker or both - since digital allows all drivers to use this lane.

Or is it, as Mark is saying I think, not a good thing because, even with lane changing, being forced to "go round the outside" to attempt an overtake is going to make for very difficult passing? (Perhaps even impossible with two reasonably matched drivers?) It seems, on paper, that perhaps once in the lead a driver would become almost impossible to pass?

(This is the question I was trying to raise over in Digital circuit design and conducting races ... (see my post towards the end of page 4)

IMHO, no matter how well you design your circuit, the driver skill and car setup will make so much difference that it won't really matter. The best driver will always get to the front and stay there.

got a new layout (because i moved and packed everything and now the rental company wants a house inspection) and ive got a much larger smaller space!

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]

got a fearly simple but hard layout if you know what i mean
there is no 2 corners the same but its an L shaped track

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]

decided that i would convert it all to wood but still use the SSD system including APB and XLC's just put wood and copper tape to it

 

[MrFlippant]

sounds good! I look forward to seeing that take shape!

hi
any new pics on the ferrari raceway rwf,either wood or plastic route decided yet

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]

i would still need R1 for plastic though and i cant yet get hold of a router are the only problems that is in my way

 

[raikkonen_webber fan]
