Scalextric C8215 1:32 Scale Lap Counter/Timer Sport Building and Sport Track Accessory

The cars move so fast and if they do happen to leave the track, it is often difficult to work out who has done how many laps - not now.

Not only does this accessory count down the laps (which can be set independently for each lane, therby introducing a handicap system) it also times each lap showing the fastest time for each player at the end of the race. This gives another "opponent" to beat.

The set also includes a convertor straight to make it compatible with both the classic and sport track sets.

Overall a great addition to any scalextric set.

Bit of advice to any potential buyers: look carefully at the connections shown in the picture...as the manufacturers want this to be compatable with both classic and sport track, you can see the fasteners are not the same on both sides.

The way this connects to your track is by a "converter" piece which transforms what seems at first glance to be a half-length accessory to the size of a full length track piece. For some sets with few or no customisable straights (a figure of eight track, for example) it can be challenging to find space for it without a big rethink.

Due to restricted space I ended up having to cut/file away fastenings from a couple of mis-matching pieces and super-glue them together.

So, don't make the same mistake as me. When planning your track, allow a full track length for this accessory!


Good (perhaps essential) addition to your scalextric set   March 9, 2009

Great to be able to automatically count down the laps when racing. Works as described and adds a bit of edge to the racing fun.
