hy, i,m going to route a track.[my ninco has so many lumps and bumps where the grandkids walk all over it]. the space is 16ft by 6ft 2 lane. i only have 2 criteria, it must have a long straight at the back with 2- 5ft6in outside radius bends on each end of the straight. the middle can be filled with anything as long as the lap lengths are roughly equall. could someone point me in the right direction. thanks. john

If you are set on equal lane lengths and do not want an overpass, use a pair of cross overs and some track design software to fiddle where the crossovers will go to balance the lane length!

Maybe this will help us all with terminology (courtesy of www.scalextric.com) ...

C8203 - Radius 2 Racing Curve Crossover 90°:


C8295 - Elevated Cross Over (a.k.a. overpass or bridge):


C8149 - Bridge Supports (or long overpass)):


Cheers!
