Wow hankscorpio .. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before! Amazing and innovative. [I too know about space restrictions, living in *box* without room for a layout a.t.m.]

Just a thought. As these are fold-ups anyway, there could be *detachable* bits to them? I'd try and get the turns as wide as possible for the Nascar. Thus swap the Nascar/Rally tracks .. as the latter is easier to make, with some wiggly & twisty bits.

BUT bridge the gap [in the RallyBoard, now Nascar] with a detachable straight piece. I did a quick test in TrackPower .. The lines are the size of your Rally board. A tight fit at 10'x4'6". But at left end there's good room for r4's and of course right has to be r3's. I used banked r3. Adds some interest but could be regular r3's as well. And the bottom straight between them has to be angled/cut to suit. I think it's at 12.5 degrees.

Could that work? Also, you could make the left bend into a 3-laner [w some more track cutting] or add pits to the top straight.

Hi hank .. Just an idea [again, sorry ..] for the Rally track .. The straight angle crossing is restricting the designs and the meeting roads has to be 90 degrees only. How about making a detachable bridge instead? Dropped in place when racing, removed when folding up the layout.

Thus you can make the [now] bridge running at any angle you wish. And perhaps give room for many more possible and interesting layout designs ..

Btw. I forgot about access reg. the Nascar track .. Sure, reaching the outmost corners will be impossible, if you can't stand in the middle of it? The GT track looks very nice!
