HO? That hairpin in the upper left corner is going to be hell.

I'll second that. And if you don't like how it drives, you can always change it since it'ssectional track.

Steven... Here's an alternative to the 6" Hairpin... Along with the combo 18"R - 15"R turns
on the other end, I spoke of yesterday...
Should plug right in to the layout... Might be fun... Or worse than the Hairpin

I think the 6"R turns get too much of a *bum rap* from the *old days*......
Sure, they were hard to conquer (esp. with Aurora steering wheel style
controllers) and 20+ volts... And I didn't care for them at all...
But with today's high-downforce cars and a 0-30 volt, 10 amp power
supply, voltage can be *dialed-in*, to help a novice (young or even
relics like myself) learn a layout with the tight curves...
Tomy/Racemasters AFX uses a Tri-Power Pack, now (approximately
8, 12 & 22 volts... A nice, infinitely adjustable power supply is the
best way to go, though...
Here's a video of a 2-lane Tomy layout, using a 6"R hairpin, followed by
a 3" hairpin... Cars sound like the Super G+ chassis (might be wrong),
with a Ford GT40 MkII body and a '90s Nissan 300ZX one...
Video is from 2009... 3 minutes...

I think 3" hairpins are WAY too tight. But if YOU have fun racing on them, just do it!!

Steven...
Did you make a decision on the layout design?...
