race tracks are alot easier than, lets say, rally dia's mainly because of their simplistic nature. All you'll probably need are a few sheet of styrene; for the road. Some putty or plaster for the curbs. Some grass type stuff (like made by evergreen). And of course the type of glue that works best with hold grass or gravel type materials to styrene. the hardest part of the diarama is, if you are going to do a slope, getting the slope to look proper and the second hardest part is getting the road texture down and including details like skidmarks and rubber tracks and such (can be obtained with thinned blacks or airbrushing)

My other suggestion would be to look up FAQ's or Tutorials for War/Battle diaramas, often times they will include techniques for roads, thin grass, or gravel.

Hope that helps
