Some tips...
For your layout I would get rid of the banked curves on the right side of the last picture or at least make it the same as the one on the left side otherwise it's to high & doesn't look quite right...
I would also suggest to leave room for borders unless you're not planing on adding some later & only using barriers?

Other then that your layout looks good

Does the F1-E have the motor side way?
It sure look like it... If it is , it would make a "perfect" chassis for cars that we want to add "full" interior with seats & driver...?

Mickey, if you take a closer look, i think you can forget about the sidewinder configuration in the Formula E cars. There is a big round hump where the crown gear is situated, so i think, it´s a inliner again, same setup as in the F1 cars :/

Yes! Peter you are right about that , I had a look at my Ferrari F1 cars that I got & then saw there were no room at all for side way motor to be fit in it , so it must be the same for the F-E...

I just often forget how much a close shot picture look bigger then what it really is... :doh:

That's right, they are inlinders and with a little oil and grease, these cars are fast and they handle really good ! :auto-driving: :auto-driving:
