Excellent set for the money. It does seem alot but remember what your getting!
This is the only set im aware of that has 2 lane changing areas. These pieces of track are about £15 on there own! most sets just come with the one change on a straight where as this has a change on the corner, perfect for some overtaking on the inside :). Great set!
The cars can take a beating but if you fly off into the fireplace surround a few times (as i have)i can see bits coming off. The wing on the aston martin has already come off :(
It worth mentioning that the lap counter that amazon has paired up with this set is NOT for use with digital Scalectrix sets... That counter is designed for normal (none digital) scalectrix sets and counts laps for each track, so if a car has changed lanes like they will in digital, (thats the idea...) the counter will get it wrong!
If you are buying ANY digital set, not just the super GT .. PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS LAP COUNTER!!!!! its very wrong of amazon to put this with the digital set..
there is a digital lap counter, sadly amazon dont seem to have it. Its in shops though and is around £40
hope this helps someone :)

I had a scalextric when I was younger and when I started looking for one for my 8 year old son for Christmas 2008 I was weighing up the pros and cons to getting a Digital one. After purchasing this set I can safely say don't even bother getting the older scalextric go DIGITAL. It is so much fun being able to overtake and my son has had some fantastic fun racing with myself and friends. When all three cars are running on the track it is manic and the overtaking just brings so much more to the racing.
Another reviewer put that the track changing mechanism is flimsy, I can't see how this is the case. Unless you start sticking things in the track like a screwdriver I can't see how you could break this track.
It also suprised me just how well packaged the whole set is, it all fits perfectly back in the box for easy storage after you've played. This is a quality toy and will last forever if looked after reasonably well. The three cars are excellent and this is a pretty big track as well. We have had some major smashes and some of the spoilers on the cars have come off but that is about it.
I'll certainly be purchasing more pieces like the lap counter, pit lane and another car and controller in the future to take the gaming to the next level.
In a world of consoles and computers it's great to play something that isn't linked to my son looking at the TV. This is good honest fun.

What a great idea this, 4 cars racing on a 2 lane track and changing lanes!
Pity that the number of Digital enabled cars is very few, 3 came with this set - because thats all there is at the moment if you ignore the F1 cars.
Problem with the set is that the changeover pieces are terribly built, cheap and nasty! As this is what the set is bought for it makes the high price simply not worth paying!
The fault lies with how the changeovers work, they operate by a bent metal rod being pulled and pushed in an electric coil .... but, the cheap design means that the rods come adrift from the operating levers. This means that the switchovers stop working - all the time!
Pathetic quality and design ... wait until these teething troubles have been sorted out is my advice!

Disappointing
I was really chuffed with the quick delivery I got on this, but less impressed with what was in the box. I should have listened to the other reviewers. Read more

Very good Scalextric set.
I very much enjoyed this Scalextric set. The cars are very good, fast and good traction. Spoilers do fall of if you drive to hard but is easily attached again. Read more
