So here is my current smooth RCP track in my smaller space constraint. And to all the haters who complain Mini-96 is too small... I say step it up
Look carefully, I go down to 1 tile wide!!!
You can see the tape for the start/finish lines on either side of the lapcounter for counter/clockwise laps.
May look a little ghetto but I can get around it quite fast. The home made inside radius corner is what "makes" the track flow. The exposed ends are really not an issue at all. Still, to make fast laps around this track you need to bring a heapin' of skill to the table.
I will get videos as soon as I can figure out a way to capture at the right angle.
