arch, yes banking is a gentle art. Too much bank wont work with rear-drive cars (AWD is a bit better). I had so-so success with EVA tiles because of their thickness and inability to get a true parabolic shape (without building a frame underneath). I kept it at only about 10 degrees max.

Carpet was a bit easier to work with, although not always wrinkle-free, no matter how tight I had the rails pull the sides. 15 degrees or so was more than enough and even 7 or 8 degrees really helped. The essential corner to bank was the fast corner off the main straight. I do remember that the Mini-Z monster trucks were a lot of fun with a banked corner on the track before the obstacles.

I contacted the Canadian distributor for Repugol, I'll try and get down to see it in person and order a roll or two.
