I'm not in the scramble but like everything about that track. Carrying more speed through a corner just means having to manage things more up ahead when cars do have to slow down. The home of 'Greatest Spectacle in Racing', the Indianapolis 500, is (slightly) banked at around 9 degrees in the corners.
As for chicane sections, I like them too. Most road course races I've seen have some ideal places for passing and many other places where patience is needed. Being held up by a slower car, or having to plan a pass for position is a part of racing too often missing from slot car racing. I've been to many a race where when traffic is encountered played a role in the ultimate outcome.
One question - which way will cars be going in front of the driver's station?
Very, very, nice track.
