animate a roller coaster

I build a really good coaster, with loops and screws and so on. My cars are finished and now I want to animate the drive.
What would be the best way to animate it, that it looks real. Because it becomes importend that the speed is in the different parts right and the car is always on the tracks.
I think you don´t do that with key frame and also not with driven key.Because that is to circular. When you use the mothion path, first I don´t know how to attach the path to the tracks( that it fits) and second to rotate the car through the srews.
Has anybody any inputs for me!!!
