Find the track that starts in the upper left ring and ends at the lower right ring. Passage between adjacent rings is allowed only where the colors at the tangent points are the same. Inside each ring passage is not restricted.

This is a maze?
It has an entrance, an exit and a track connecting them. It also contains decoy paths that do not lead anywhere. It also has rules that define the allowed and forbidden places for the track to go through. So it's a maze, even though it doesn't look like one. What are the rules? that's your first challenge - to find the answer. If you try but lose your patience, the answer appears under the maze. Your second challenge is to solve the puzzle.
I hope you will enjoy my work, but please note that I consider the maze and the idea behind its design my own intellectual property. That means that redistribution without attributing it to me is not allowed, and commercial use, publication or any use for profit requires my written consent.
Enjoy and please comment. I really want to know your opinion.
Note: If you haven't guessed the rules, they simply state that the track must go along the unbroken chain between the two arrows. Unbroken means that each ring all along the way is linked to the next ring in the chain. For example, the top left ring is linked to the next one along the horizontal row, but not to the ring directly below it.

Honeycomb multitrack maze
Find the two tracks that start and end at the upper corners of the maze, one between the red arrows and the other between the blue arrows. The tracks must not share any common section or cross section along their paths.

Ring lattice multtrack maze
Find the two tracks that start and end in the center of the maze, one between the red arrowheads and the other between the blue arrowheads. The tracks must not share any common rings along their paths. Passage between adjacent rings is allowed only where the colors at the tangent points are the same. Inside each ring passage is not restricted.

Multitrack maze type 3
Multitrack maze type 3 (single station, multiple
closed tracks) contains only one station inside the maze, graphically
represented by a token such as a star, etc. The solution consists of drawing N
(typically three) completely separate tracks through the valid paths of the
maze, so that each track begins and ends in the station.
Here is an example of a Type 3 multitrack
maze with three closed tracks:

Multitrack maze type 2
Multitrack maze type 2 (closed tracks, multiple stations)
contains N (typically three) stations inside the maze. The stations are
graphically represented by tokens such as stars, etc.. The solution consists of
drawing N completely separate closed tracks through the valid paths of
the maze, so that each track begins and ends in the same one of the N
stations.

Multitrack maze type 1
Multitrack maze type 1 (pair connections) contains N
(typically three) pairs of stations inside the maze. Each pair of stations is
graphically distinguished by a specific token such as a star, triangle, circle,
etc. The solution consists of drawing N completely separate tracks via
the valid paths of the maze, so that each track connects one of the N
pairs of stations.
