A few years back, the Chicago crazies did a destructo figure 8 flat track with a crossover, and it was routed!!! They staged a race!?!? that encouraged insane additions to cars, like giant wood screws, knife blades, claws, talons, etc. Not surprisingly, I don't think a winner was declared.
But there is something to be learned. He barely was able to get 4 lanes to work, because a radius that wasn't too confining on the inner lane required the track to be huge.
Also, the usual advice about overpasses... there have been spectacular tracks with overpasses, but most are problematic for racing, marshalling, etc. Most of the tracks I have seen with overpasses that were successful were plastic track with magnets, with some amazing exceptions.
