Yes, cars in pace mode (expert or novice) do it entirely. The speed of the pace car though seems too slow to me (no big difference between expert and novice). Running against the pace car can be challenging only for very young children.
This one uses only 2.5x2.1 and requires careful driving (my best time 6.15). Doesn't fit perfectly, that's why the Q needs to go beneath a B, but works perfectly. Also I had to place the Pit track under the main track to gain flexibility. It is a bit more complicated to enter the pit, this way and you need to exit carefully too. Hope you like it.
