Not 100% sure mate, are you after anything paticular? Some of its quite old I think as I had a great uncle that was really into it and some of it got handed down to me.

Unsure on the ring, but theres a lot of Scalextrix tracks out there with full scenery, hills, etc that people have made.
Would need an awful lot of room to do cover the ring.
