It's been awhile boys but things are slowly progressing. We have lived in our new location for over a year now and I have been slowly building my new routed track. It is three lanes routed MDF with copper tape. I didn't use the braid because it would have cost too much for this project. Lanes are about 100' in length and it incorporates every turn that Le Mans has plus maybe one more. Almost all turns are banked to various degrees. and not all are the same radius or continuous radii. Meaning some turns have a more acute radius entering the turn or visa-versa or the acute radius may be at the apex of the turn. You have to figure it out for yourself 
. As you can see from the pictures it's not a big "commercial type" track with sweeping turns but I tried to mimic the turns of Le Mans as best I could with the space I have. At first I was planning to have a lot more space for in field stuff like the area behind the pits for parking and a carnival are just like at Le Mans but in order to have the length between the turns the track got in the way so now I will have just enough room for the pits an places for almost all of the cars entered in the 67' race which I am shooting for. I have almost all of the cars except a few obscure ones that aren't popular so they weren't made or I missed the boot on them when they were made and are currently not available except on evil bay and maybe found on evil bay overseas for $$$
