Le Mans track build

I don't have room in the house for a permanent track so I've just occasionally been setting up smallish temporary tracks in the back garden when the weather is good enough.  This time I've decided to put a bit more effort in and went for a loose replica of Le Mans.

First I drew a rough outline of what the track might look like, loosely based on the 1970s/80s version of the actual track and using the parts I had available:

1972-1986 Le Mans layout:

My idea based on the track parts I have available:

Then I started on some card and paper signs and buildings (also used some blue and yellow electricians tape to mark the corners:

Arnage corner:

Maison Blanche:

Dunlop Bridge:

Tertre Rouge:

Then laid out the parts to see how it would all fit together:

Lastly spent an afternoon with various random bits of wood, bricks, ladders, chairs and a pasting table to get everything up to the right height for it to work and ran a few cars down to test it.
