San Phoeno Speedway (www.SanPhoeno.com)

I absolutely love this track!

The creator is a gentlemen named Martin from Australia. His website is www.SanPhoeno.com

Some quotes I have found about the track and from Martin on track building:

"Table is 16ft x 8ft or 4.8m by 2.4m. Power taps, one per lane from the power supply which is a car battery with a cheap charger on it to keep it topped up. I don't really have an accurate measurement on the lap lengths but I think its about 21m to 23m."

"When I was in my track designing phase, I used to draw them on paper, roughly to scale and then lay the pieces out on a 'table' of the amount of area I had to build the track on... also in scale.

"As you know, the old San Phoeno Raceway was a combination of the reverse hairpin at China, mountain straight into the cutting, corkscrew and the symmons plains hairpin. The only things I would have done differently, would be to have 3 lanes in the space of two and a half lanes, with some longer mergers. Reason for this is after a while you know how to drive the track with your eyes closed, especially by the time you get around to finishing the scenery, your ready for the next track. By adding the extra lane, it makes driving on it with some else a new challenge, every lap. Just like real racing, you add that element of patience and passing that doesn't exist as much as it could on some slot tracks. (But everyone is different and its a personal thing so don't flame me !)

So whatever you come up with on your design, I highly recommend designing a track based on some real life tracks in slot form."
