The short answer is maybe...some will and some won't. The only company that made 1/40 scale cars and track was Carrera; Profi, Car Racing, and Servo140 slotless. The biggest issue will be with the guide pins of one manufacturer being too wid to fit in the trakc of another manufacturer. I think the Artin guide pins are too wide for Carrera, but the Carrera cars should work fine on Artin tracks. But since the Carrera cars are slightly larger they may not fit side by side on Artin track.
My advice is to stick with the scale you currently have, you'll save money time, and headaches buy going with what you have. Artin is easy enough to find here i the US. But if you're stuck with the Carrera 1/40 stuff you will have to shop eBay Germany to get the parts you need. Prices are cheap, but shipping can be astronomical. Be sure to get a shipping quote before you bid; sometimes the people will inflate the shipping costs to cover the inconvenience they feel for shipping internationally.

Will strombecker return to producing slot cars?
Strombecker was and I believe still is a furniture company that got into originally wooden model airplanes as a way of ( ahead of the curve) recycling scrap wood from the main line of work- Furniture. They did survive plastics-wise into slot car era that is now extinct. Popular interest in slot cars has tended to mirror the declining interest in real-life racing cars, on which most of the scale ones were based . Slot Car magazines such as Car Model and Model Car & Track were intersperesed with articles on real race tracks such as Daytona, Le Mans, Nurburgring ( Nuremburg area) and the then successul action of Ford GT"s Chaparrals etc. It is a bit like asking Baseball cards to show any real vitality if, and this might not be a total blitz- say, baseball was abolished. there would be some residual market, but not much. one ( slot racing) was tied to the other real car racing. For some bizarre reason the game ( Slot Cars) did not appeal to the distaff set, no 99"s Powder Puffs, or Donna Mae Mims types- you never saw girls around slot tracks.
