Heya guys. After another hiatus, I'm back with another track. This time in digital! I've only ever built wooden routed tracks and they've never survived being moved to well so this time I wanted something that I could pull down if we move and put back up in a new configuration to fit a given space.
I have the track up until this schematic:
My final design, after many revisions (and possibly more) is this:
The track is designed primarily for 6 car racing with up to 5 pace cars. I tried to include R1 curves in my original design but, unfortunately, pace cars were not very good at getting through them. My worry with the design is that it might be to quick to really bunch cars up for passing.
The pit lane is the main feature of this track. Each of the 6 cars will have they're own pit box, fully decked out with individual sensing.
In saying that, it's plastic track this time so I can change it as I see fit. I put up a video on YouTube of an old design while testing out the new digital features:

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome! A few more photos can be found on my website (I'll post more here once I start to actually build the track rather than have it on the garage floor!): http://mantrasoftwar...ital-test-track
