I am watching James May's toy Story and want to assemble a scale replica of a famous racing circuit for electric cars or motorcycles. My first thought was Nordschleife, Laguna Seca or Mid Ohio, maybe Donnington Park or brands Hatch. Thoughts? Ideas?

the ring is a little too long to build it to scale, unless you are at 1/1000 yj scale and then its too small to work with, my vote would be for laguna seca, i def want to see how you habdle the corkscrew with the steep drop it has

Back in the day, I actually did the Hotwheels thing, thats where my user name actually comes from. I even have my son's name on a production car. I was huge into hotwheels, so that I think may be out. I was gonna do research to see what the ratio of a tyco track is to real tracks and see if that is feasible. The corkscrew would be tricky only because of the track split and losing the contact I think...but would be cool as hell.
