Gallery - The Racing Room
A fact is that slotcar racing tracks take up a lot of room. I have always wanted to have a nice fixed slot car track so in the summer 2017 I decided to build a room where I could set up the track. Luckily there is an stable beside our house which suited my purpose, and luckily I took pictures of most of the work so I could share the process here on the page :) This room is located right beside the allready finished gaming room: link
All of the pictures below show the process from the summer 2016 and untill the room was ready for use. The entire project is WIP so the rooms are constantly improved and changed. Unfortunatly I'm only able to use the slot car room during the sumkmer periode due to the cold Danish weather.
The total racing room is around 120m3 |
