Doing it by hand pose some problems.
After some thought I checked the internet to see if he agreed with me.
And yes we where on the same track.
Still missing the router/pen connection but my 3D printed ellipse arms are working.
If I might say, quite fascinating to watch.
I put on some tape to make it easier to see.
I found that if using Scalextric tracs starting and ending in the thin groves where the power-lead where would be a good choice.

Re: Drawing / routing the RaceLine. The helping arms.
Ok, So it is possible not the ideal race-line. But when using track-pieces you get the inn and out parallel to the normal lanes.
If you make it on a full size board you would probably use a normal constant radius like the outer lane (minus the 5-10 mm offset) and put the pivot point to start the racing-lane earlier in the turn.
I'll make a new video to show.

Re: Drawing / routing the RaceLine. The helping arms.
Here it a drawing. Hope the colors shows.
Optimal raceline just drawn one way.
HELP needed :
Does anyone know how to get the green elliptical crossing each other in the middle of the 2 normal lanes.
As you can see they cross where the 2 Scalextric pieces connect and if I could get that crossing at the midpoint of the the track it would be possible to make a S-bend easily.
