James Harlan, by his estimation, presides over the most elaborate slot-car racetrack in the country, which he built in his 1,000-square-foot basement and modeled after some of the Formula One race circuit’s most notoriously challenging track features. “I suppose I’ve taken it pretty far beyond what’s been done,” he said.

Dang, that's an incredible set up
The detail and the set up is simply amazing.
My son asked for a slot car set for the holiday's this year.. I guarantee it will be nothing like that. LOL

damnnn! Amazing how detailed it is! As a big F1 fan, I'd love to have that in my basement! I would never get bored of it.

Always wanted to build something like that. Just never had the basement for it.

no kidding
yeah, when my kids are older,
I want to have a slot-car layout also.
Of course, it's not going to be anywhere near of this caliber.
I'm just thinking of building it on a 4'x8' platform.
