Hi Guys,

a year a go I got a BLST track from Sillage Racing.
It's equiped with Oxygen from Slot.it.

A large part of the decoration is done.
Buildings are fom Magnetic Racing. Modified sonme but all have light.
Track lights are inspired from another project presented here.
There are quite someilluminated advertisement panels from Miller Engineering/Magnetic Racing.

I've just published a video, but it's in French...sorry
I might publish one with english voice.

The video shows the concep of the BLST track, then a tour of the decoration elments, then a look of car running at day and night time.
I hope you will like it.

Thanks!

If the two surface are not flat, you might need to put several layers of the copper tape.
The magnets are needed to keep the structure in place.
Also the magnets of both side have reverse polarity, to avoid miss placing the building.

Thanks!

In the video, I explain that I used one Oxygen controller to drive 5 cars at once.
This was for the pupose to show the over taking.
With one controller and with all cars on the track at different place, impossible to drive fast.

I agree with you, like that it looks nice!
I'm glad you like it.
I'll do more video like that, probably with cars within the same categories.

The lap length is 15 meters.
With rubber tyres on cars like the NSR McLaren 720S, AMG GT3 or the Sideways GT3s or the MrSlotCar F1 GTR, the lap time is just below 5 seconds. The Slot.it Nissan GT-R GT3 is at about 5.3 seconds.
Put sponge tyres and the fastest goes down just below 4.5 Seconds, the Nissan GT-R GT3 4.8 seconds.

The track is equiped with Oxygen, I user either PC Lap Counter or O2 as RMS.
When I'm alone, I mainly play in analog because I use a Lap Timing System I'm building, so no need a computer.

I uderstand why you might be hesitating with this system. You migth think the system remove the take over from your control. But it's not. You still have to plan your take over, watching the guys in front of you and adjusting your speed at the right moment. Its a different way than to have to press on a button, and you don't have to worry to move back to the fastet lane, because you'll always be on.
In fact, it's just a different system.

For the scenery, the illuminated panels from Miller Engineering/Magnetic Racing, give a life to the track. The track is alive, not just the cars.
