How the Nurburgring Nordschleife layout is worked out

  1. Pick Nurburgring Nordschleife in the designer, or start from scratch with an empty box.
  2. List the straights, curves, chicanes and crossovers you already own.
  3. Choose an ambition level, from a small shop list up to a much closer follow of the real centreline. Higher levels take longer to compute and need more track.
  4. You get a shopping list of the official catalogue pieces still missing, a lay-out order, and a plan image to build from.

What you need before you start

Any Scalextric Sport track counts, including pieces from an older set. Count each SKU once, including the left-hand and right-hand curves separately, because the fit depends on which way each curve turns. The layout plans guide walks through measuring your space and counting your box.
