LOL, cool.
My scalextrics is set up in the loft, but its pretty dark up there (no proper lighting, just a host of desk lamps) and it gets seriously hot up there this time of year. I think I've got a track which is similar in length to that (maybe a tad longer, it folds in on itself a bit) By the way, since this is walking a fine line between being in this forum, and being in Armchair Enthusiast can we keep it specifically to the tracks or it'll have to move to AE |

Quick map of my layout..
I think its quite cool, the main straight's a couple of metres long, which isn't bad for a scalextrics track, and the rest of the track is pretty technical but still good fun. |

Well, considering you've only got a narrow set options (6 or 7 types of curve, 4 or 5 different straights), probably not worth it!
Unless you mean as though it were a real track |

That being said, a famous example of an actual circuit with a crossover is the Suzuka Circuit in Japan (home of the Japanese Grand Prix): Since Suzaka is owned by Honda, I would speculate that the crossover may be to assure an equal number of left and right turns for corporate vehicle test purposes. Or maybe just because it is - Ah so, cool! I sure do like it! Finally: My custom routed wood, 75 foot per lap, slot track from the '60's. I really miss the old track! |
