ABSTRACT:
A unique race track construction for human-driven cars having a first and second linear track which are parallel to each other and in which each linear track has a beginning and an end. A first curvilinear track has a both first end and a second end with the first end being connected to the first linear track at a position between its beginning and end. The first curvilinear track forms a complete loop section adjacent to the first linear track, thereafter extending over the first linear track adjacent to the end of the first linear track and then forms a curved track section which joins with the beginning of one of the first or second linear tracks. Similarly, a second curved linear track has one end connecting to and extending outwardly from the second linear track adjacent its end. The second curvilinear track forms a complete loop section adjacent the second linear track, thereafter crossing the second linear track at a position near the end of the second linear track and finally forms a curved track section adjacent the first linear track which joins with the beginning of the other of the first or second linear track.
