Thanks for your comments. Joel, not quite sure what you mean by driving space?

Re: Targa track design

Track is coming along nicely. Mostly I am working on trying to ensure that cars do not get stuck on bumps or ridges when 'off track'. It seems best to either have track surrounds that cars can drive over or position retaining walls, rocks, buildings etc., to ensure cars can't go where they will get ...

Re: Targa track design

Re. tight corners, these have been achieved by cheating a little and allowing the inner lane/wire to run wide on the exit. This will mean that it will not be possible to run cars side by side at all positions on the track, which is what I would normally recommend, but it does allow a very realistic ...

Sauber Mercedes C9

In view of the interest in different bodies, I just remembered the Sauber GT body I made some time ago but left it to concentrate on the 1970's sports cars. The body is a little long (I guess I was looking ahead to a longer/adjustable chassis) but it is the correct width. There is no wing or decals....

Re: Wes , what you going to charge for lap counter system?

Sorry Joel but the situation is much the same as my last post.
We have a new batch of cars ready soon and I am hoping that

Re: Targa track design

The Targa track is progressing nicely. Cars have been running round but no videos yet. Only one l/c needed tweaking. One advantage of card or plaster is that alterations are easy to do. With plaster in particular, it is only necessary to scrape away the plaster, loosen the wire and pin and reglue. O...
