Kids in the 1980s
Total Control Racing (TCR) was way, way better than Scalextric, because you could change lanes at will instead of being dictated to by some stupid groove in the road.

Ask for it instead and boot Scalextric into posterity, because Scalextric was shit.

Awesome isn't it?
Basically, there were three wires each side, and the car had two pick-up shoes, so it didn't lose power as it changed lanes.

Blummin ace - it's only because Scalextric had the financial punch that they won, but TCR was way, way, WAY better, as you can see.

I remember that. It was fantakka

I've got a brand new bigtrak sat next to me now
in the box, but I don't want to open it as it's surely bound to be disappointing.

Big Trak was good
for seeing how quickly you could make £4 worth of D cells go flat.

and for taking an apple to your dad, but only if you had the trailer.

Out school had a couple of big tracks
and the booking system to use one was full for months. When I finally got a go it was shit.

a new firm re-released BigTrak last year
as the electronic side of MB is defunct and the license for the design was up for grabs.
There's a new design coming out which you can put a nerf gun on, it's got a camera and you can control it from your ipad/computer.

Kids today,... etc...
