A nice hairpin curve here, or a sweeping chicane there. If your not doing multi lanes then you just have additional options for creating different corners as you wish. You can refer to the featured image on this page to see this concept displayed. Radius 1 is the tightest of the corners and continues going out through radius 4. While the straight track components will be the same for any lane, you will need different radius curves to line up next to other lanes. These are useful if you are creating a multi lane track.
Some radiuses offer multiple track components. Scalextric offers four different curve radiuses.
