Hi Guys just to show you What a freak you are dealing with, I built this concrete track in my garden about 6 years ago. I have a FPV on the care vid but I can't seem to posed it

Steve if you ever come to London, you are welcome to visit the London raceway, you will need a small little camera the cares are pretty small, I filmed the video a couple of years ago withe a FlyCamOne 2
I should look in to making some custom FPV platform bodes for the cars for live FPV, the track is 2ft wide and ruffly 81ft long, I run F1 and touring mini-z cares on it, I have 6 of them, 4 F1 cars and 2 touring.
the track is having a mack over at the moment, I,m going to replays the bearers, as you can see in the video there a bit tarty and starting to break up, in the heat of a race you have a tendency to get excited if someone has knocked you of the track and you step on the barrier putting your car back on.
I use conduit/ cabal trunking covers, I removed the covers and  cut the box section in small bits and fix them to posts stuck in the ground, the Cuvier strips then clip back on to them, its a great detail that my wife came up with, it helps stop you flying of the track, sometimes, lol
It coled also do with a pant, I use smooth text external House pant, mixed to asphalt black, and textured red and whit strips on the apex, I have also carved cement rocks to add to the effect, they look totally weathered in now and the mini conifer trees in the background are 4 to 5ft tall now, in a couple of months when I complete all the reapers, I will posed some up to date pics, I have tried to googol map it but I have a canopy of trees from the nabers garden.
