I never had good luck with that piece of track.

I tried using it in layouts in the past but the cars always wanted to get hung up in it.

It seems the radius is just too tight for some cars.

Its been a long time, but I think TJets took it well at speed, and some AFX depended on deslotting, riding the wall, then sliding back into the slot! There was something guys did to make that track work, but I don't remember what it was.

I have actually used some Bare Metal Foil and cut it in wide strips and placed them over the rails.

Original A/FX G-Plus Formula 1/Indy type cars will bottom out the front wings,
as will any similar newer production cars from A/FX, TYCO, Life Like, ect.
Some sports/prototype bodies with long noses will also have a problem.
I bought mine to run T-Jets on it anyway, so no worries here. Enjoy!
