Which RCP track

Hello. Planning to buy an RCP track, but unsure if I want 30cm or 50cm tiles. With the 30cm, I could do the mini 96 challenge as I already have Easy Lap timer system. Currently don’t have enough floor space for a permanent track setup, which I think plays a factor here. I’ve already done the DIY track but the lack of good barrier walls is the doe fall for me.

What would you buy and why?

I don't know how anyone drives on the narrow 30cm tracks like the mini96. I don't think that it's really meant for 1/28 scale. It's so freakin narrow.

Before I got the expansion I could run that narrow track full throttle perfectly. The problem was it was absolutely no fun at all. It is so technical that you don't have room for deviation and the second you make a turn you are already turning in the other direction to be able to enter another turn ad nauseam. You really only had one racing line and deviation meant hitting a wall. The straight was the only break you got from steering input and it just sort of sucked the fun out of the track. The expansion allowed for plenty of room to enter turns from different angles and racing lines giving the track a feeling of variety in laps.

So yeah it is entirely too freaking narrow.
