FAMOUS CIRCUITS ‘One of the wor ‘fastest and most dangerous road circuits. It sweeps for 876 miles through the wooded slopes of the Ardennes forest, a few of Liege in Belgium. The famous Masta straight with its agonising kink inthe allows speeds of up to 200 mp.h. yet at th miles to the si ther side of the circuit, at La Source halepia, speeds drop down to x mere 35 m.psh. Although the impeccably smooth road is used by normal traffic most of the time, the circuit has splendid permanent grandstands and pits fanking the “downhill seare/fnish straight immediately after La Source hairpin. The circuit is approached on the N32, N28 and N23 roads. i 1D Standard Cur y 2 Inner Curve BOuterCuve"H" PTSD 9 Half Seancard Curve "I" PTS Sal Inner Curve "K" PTS 3 Double Inver Corve "L” PT'S6 7 Seraighe "A prs? 4 Serge Prise 7 Straighe “C prs? 26 Straighe"D' Pre 1 Seaeing Line PrisTSI Brahe = oon fe TEE 1 Sart 1 Long Hump Baek Brigge Teepe 3 Seraighe "C’ PT) = oe eee cae FMFAMOUS CIRCUITS Zandvoort is situated on the Dutch Coast near Haarlem, it has alap distance of 2.6 miles.

You ean even construct 8 lane layouts by using one ofthe later additions to the range, the Large Radius Curve “M” (Cat. No. PT/24). Most of the circuits illustrated may be reduced in size by simply removing an equal number of straight track sections from both sides of the layout on parallel straights, similarly any layout may be enlarged by adding an equal number of Straights into any two parallel erack joints. By using this method you will perhaps be able to adapt a circuit which interests you to suit the space which you have at your disposal. In the main, standard track sections are illustrated in the layout diagrams, but should you wish to incorporate such items as a Straight or Curved Chicane, the Pit Stops or perhaps a Lap Counter in your circuit this can quite easily be done on the majority of layouts by substituting the chosen items in place of an ‘equal length of the standard track sections. ‘On 2 lane circuits 180° standard curve bends may be replaced with the Speed Banking Set (Cat. No. PT/97), this set consists of four Banked Standard Curves, four Variable Supports and two Approach pieces which are each equal in length to a Straight ‘B’ and so have the effect of slightly lengthening the layout. ‘The banked Curve and sets of two Approach pieces are also available separately to enable Speed Banking on any size standard curve corner, but remember that te rac length is lengthened by the Approach plecesand that straight Bs will hhave to be added on the opposite parallel side of the layout. Many of the circuits incorporate fly-overs, and on most 2 lane circuits the Fly-over Bridge Supports (Cat. No. PT/70) make an excellent fly-over bridge, they may also be used for fly-overs on 4 lane circuits where the upper track crosses the lower at right angles. Fly-overs of longer length or on a bend may be constructed by using banking units and banking trusses (Cat. Nos. A/2I7 and AJ2I8) these may be joined together as illustrated in the Scalextric catalogue ‘and will support tracks of any shape, thus it is quite a simple matter to make large fly-overs for 4, 6 and 8 lane circuits. The, corners of your circuits should be well banked end on 2 lane circuits the Banking Plates (Cat. No. A/264) is quite suicable for this purpose, but on 4, 6 and’ lane circus eis recommended that che banking Unies and Truses be used.
