Scalextric had this great little track set up at the Le Mans Classic event this year:
It would make a nice layout for anyone planning a relatively small home track. Its also easy to add digital components (power base and lane-change track pieces).

Indeed Gordon and (had to ask) if you have the time
How about some of your SSD magic - posting a track design here

For the sake of having a good guess Gordon ...

Gordon,
Took more time viewing pictured track table and it’s actually 9’ X 4’ in size
Looking at the (Arc Air) Power Base - noticed the slot-cars were placed in the opposite (racing) direction when the photo was taken

Re: Scaley track at Le Mans Classic 2018
I’m sure others will probably notice Gordon plus being an Analog Circuit - suppose to be only 2 slotcars
Anyway - guess the person (with the camera) wanted the shot to look as exciting as possible, which he (or she) did a great job of ...
Sure you know I took the time to check the track segments and came up with these (40) numbers in total:
That said and when you get the chance designing, could you do the track plan as a Digital Circuit for new friend Kenny ..? Plus here’s a list of the SSD pieces available - which I am sure will fit comfortably on his 12’ X 8’ table.
I tried working out a design, item number by item number and started with the front straightaway ...
Hope my story wasn’t and you can always call whenever
I will end off here,

Re: Scaley track at Le Mans Classic 2018
Well here's the nearest I can get to the track in the pic. When I tried what was obvious from closely scrutinising the pic, track pieces were overlaying/bouncing into one another in certain places, so I had to make some changes.
Re: Scaley track at Le Mans Classic 2018
Nicely done (Circuit Design) Gordon and in the quickest time possible
Even though you made some changes, it’s looking like the exact shape.
