DRAWW Scalextric GT race, Raceline Raceway

- Just another single heat from a race day. This series we're using "4 crashes and out" with 3 poker chips. Turn in a chip for each out. When you're out of chips, the next time you come out, you're out of the race. You'll see a couple racers get knocked out of the race in this heat.
These cars are Scalextric crash resistant GT cars. On the grid are two Audi R8, one Corvette, one Lamborghini, one Jaguar, and one Ferrari. We're using SSD Console v4 to manage the race. When a driver comes off, they must remember to press the brake button on their controller to track call. Two seconds later, all cars stop so that crashers can be put back on (after they turn in a chip). This track has THREE "racing line curved lane changers" in it. These are special "chicane" lane changers made by cutting two normal curved lane changers and putting the pieces back together in the right way to make the racing line. Each one requires two lane changers, and the offcut pieces are more or less worthless. They are absolutely worth making, though, as they present a smoother line through the turn, which really gives an advantage to the car that remembers to take the racing line.
I like your concept !
nice racetrack...tx for this video.. :-)
I like the idea of a three strikes thing .. very cool.
It's amazing how I could have missed this for so long. Very cool. Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. They seem to work well in your video. Recently pulled the CLCs off my track - just don't like the way they perform. It'll be fun tearing a couple apart. I have a righ turn -out to in. If I buy a left turn - in to out that should do it. Thanks!
Good job guys! Keep "the pedal to the metal"!
That's a really nice layout
Nice track!
I love the idea of of the chips for crashes. Why didn't I think of that?
Yes, it is. It's great in many ways. Only way it could be better is if it were routed wood with magnabraid.
Good stuff
Yeah, but what choice do you have when there aren't any extra people to marshal cars back on (or out of the way) and the track is too large to easily run around and reach cars? If we had a huge club so that a non-racing person can just sit at every corner putting cars back on, I'm sure we'd do things differently. Crash and burn is a bit harsh for digital racing, so we use chips to track crashes, as you see. Once you crash for the 4th time, you're out. But, if you have a suggestion, let me know.
Nice track.I'm not a big fan of the track call,but if there isn't room to get it yourself i can see that's the only way,it just interupps the flow you need to get going when racing.Race on my brothers of the Digital slot!
@joeymorgans we have a similar system when we race were its 3 crashes rule and 5 laps (analogue) (we stop on analogue) but when its just digital we have marshalls to put the car on and if you fall off we keep going.
That was nice!!! Like the idea of using the chips, would make people drive more carefully, altough thats not the cast here! LOL! I think i might give that racing line lane changer a go, just need to find out how to make it, i'll look on slot forum.
Go for it! :)
Did you find tht the corvette didnt handle as well as the other cars or have you changed it to handle better
Configuration changes a little from time to time, but it's usually around 64' lap length.
Very nice track, not so sure about all the breaks in the racing though.
I believe he used a green indoor/outdoor carpeting like I did on my track, Rainier Raceways
We use a delay so that the other racers get a little ahead rather than stop immediately.
OK - So what's up with those incredibly cool third rail curved tracks? You must have made them yourself - Please tell me you have a video on making them. I've been wanting to rout some "drive line" wood curves for my layout and attach them to my track somehow but yours look like plastic pieces which are just the same as the rest of your Scalextric track - with flippers no less! And they definitely don't look like the standard Scalley digital turnouts. Pictures? Video? Anything??? :-)
Hey mate I NEED to know what boarder did you use for that R1 corner in the bottem right of the screen. Is it a offcut? Of a bigger boarder?
? That's a standard R1 inner. Comes in a piece that is easily cut apart for whatever degree of turn. I think it's two 360 degrees in a pack?
@GregGaub just the way we do it. have you used ortman tyres. we dont all we do is sand the tyres
Hi Greg - is the hump back bridge a Scalextric part or custom bent? It doesn’t look like either the low or high classic scaley bridges. I have just built a tribute to this track on my 2m x 3m hoistable table.
It's a custom piece. He removes the rails and bends them carefully, then clamps the track in a two part "mold" and warms it in his oven until it stays in that shape, then re-installs the rail.
Greg Gaub thanks Greg. I’m also liking the pitlane that went in last year. Are the ‘customers’ satisfied though?
@@clumsiloe His track is always a pleasure to race on.
Greg Gaub thanks for all the other useful videos you’ve posted! You are awesome!
Nice race. How big is your table in cm?
how long is it? and epic track
I think it's something like 6x14.
Can I copy this track it's awesome
I like this alot! how have you managed to get them racing line bends? any tips on how to make?
+davegtirbeast They are custom made. You can find a tutorial here: www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53384
+Greg Gaub great thanks for that :-)
Hi what kind of fabric/felt are you using please?
Ok thanks
Do you have a championship with your friends
"Nice"
le joueur dépose un jeton , j'utilise le même réglement . normale je ne suis pas en digital . ?
The same works for traditional slot car racing.
schöne Strecke und nette Details
hir mal meine Strecke
