I have a friend that works for the fire service, looks like I may have to sweet talk him.

As far as track dimensions go, for 1/10th buggy I'd be looking at 2m lane width minimum, ideally closer to 2.4m. Anything less than 2m and the track starts to feel very small and it is difficult to turn the car full circle within the lanes. For a decent variety in the layout, you are looking at 4 lanes as the track width, and a straight as long as you can manage. Anything less than about 15m will start to feel very short for a 1/10th car, even a slow one.
So ideally I need a minimum of 10m x 15m or thereabouts? Might have to bring the tape measure to work tomorrow.
