MAS IMAGENES DE LA EXPO The LeMay Museum's Amazing Slot Car Track


The track descends rapidly then climbs back up into its inner loop.  Note the strategically placed crash wall and catch fencing.
The inner loop twists around the control tower and descends toward the Dunlop Bridge.
The Dunlop Bridge, modeled after the famous structure at LeMans, spans the first of a series of downhill esses.
The esses, modeled after a section of Pacific Raceways, drop the track back down to the level of the front straight and start-finish.  It's quite a roller coaster ride.
The track abounds with all the structures and other features that make it into a highly realistic representation of a full-sized road racing circuit.  The massive control tower is a modeling masterpiece all by itself.   The architecture is interesting and original.  All areas of the layout are populated with hundreds of figures, each one painted individually.
This elevated flag station is full of realistic details.  Note how the floor is painted to simulate the wear of countless corner workers walking on it.
These grandstands are scratchbuilt and populated with individually painted and detailed spectator figures.
Note the tire wall and the openings in the catch fence for corner workers to wave flags through, just as seen on many race tracks around the world.
This is absolutely the best thing you can possibly do with a Scalextric Ford Torino.
Things are getting a little chaotic in the paddock.  We wonder where the tunnel is supposed to lead to.  The cars were all supplied by Slotmods as a part of the package
