Track idea, comments wanted

I'm planning on building my first racing track for my 1:64 micro cars. I'm planning to make it on a MDF board, I'm not sure yet about all of the construction ideas, I'm still in the designing phase.

I've seen a lot of tracks and designs on the net, but don't like the fact that most of these tracks have only one way of going around the track. So I designed one of my own that can be modified (with pylons and stuff) to have the possibility to have different circuits on the same track.

I have attached a gif of my design. The beige part of the track will become some kind of off-road part (possibly some drops of candle wax to make the cars loose control). I have tried to add all kinds of parts that could make the track hard to go around (differing curves, 180degree turn, straight parts, an S-curve, pile-up intersections, ...). The image also shows three possible tracks, that would each require specific car settings and would allow me to train different skills of driving. Because of the many intersections, more alternative circuits around the track are perfectly possible. The width of the roads is to be 20 centimeters, or 8 inches.

Has anybody tried a similar design of a track that allows different ways of going around the track? Are there maybe any other tips or comments on my current design?
