Herman Tilke take note! Now that is a good track!

Bloody hell! This is brilliant!

Wonder how much did it all cost and how long did it take him? Also, during which stage of the construction did his wife leave him?

Would certainly love to have a scaled down Nordschleife or Spa in my living room.

Last but not least, if they made a real life version of this it would certainly help keep Vettel and Lewis off other cars!

I think the F1 drivers should qualify on a track like this for their grid slot on Sunday.
Then they'll save some real money..

Brilliant slot track superb job.
However, it should not be called a Scalextric racing circuit.
Scalextric only started manufacturing slot racing after WW2.
Wing Commander Ken Wallis MBE produced the first slot racing circuit in 1940 while on active service bombing Germany. His cars also had steering front axles and electric motors Ken made himself.
Historical fact.

I have suggested to Martin Whitmarsh, the President of FOTA, that they take up my idea for an electric series to support the FI meetings.
As of today he is still sitting on the fence with no response.

The details are contained in an official electric racing paper I placed before the FIA AEC in January. The FIA is also sitting on the fence and will not comment.

It has been confirmed that certain members of the FIA world council support these principles. It seems that sugared water and cigarette sales are more important.
