The curve track for Speedtrack consisted of a standard 9" Curve that bent through ninety degrees. These could create both right and left turns easy enough. The more expensive sets also employed the forty-five degree curve, which was exactly half the regular curve.
With the introduction of PT-8000 (the four lane system), Matchbox designed a new curve, the 12" Curve, which bent through forty five degrees only.
Two 12" Curves could run around the outside of a standard 9" curve.
The 12" curve was available in the USA but it was never included in any of the sets, and a four lane version of PT-8000 never materialised in the USA.
