Carrera Lap counter review
#1

Review of  Carrera Lap counter 
      

Last  week  I  posted  a  message looking  for  one   of  the  above  pictured   lap  counters. I  received  a  link  from   member   Henk  to  contact  Klaas Bos  at  Slotrace shop in Holland .     :https://www.slotraceshop.nl/product/elek...ler-71590/ 
First  I must  thank  them  both  and  recommend  visiting Klaas' site where  you   will  find  some  fantastic  deals plus  a  virtual tour of  the  premises.
The  mail  order  experience was excellent and the parcel arrived  promptly  by  courier .
The  beauty of  this item is  its  simplicity .Firstly the instructions are  very easy to  follow .the  various  modes  are  clear  and  simple  which makes it  a  joy to  use whether  it  is  in timed  mode or  lap  count mode  .There  is  a  count down to  the  start  and  a  buzzer   for  the  finish .Fastest lap display and  final  position are  easy to access.
The unit can be adjusted to  fit  a  variety of  track widths and  in my  opinion  is  the  perfect  accessory  for  any  two lane analogue home circuit  regardless of  manufacture .
How  would I rate it against  other  similar  products  ,Compared  to  the  DS system  it  is  much  lower  tech  and  doesn't  have the luxury  of  expansion to  more  lanes  ,it  also  doesn't  have  a power off /on option at  the start or finish and  this  is of course  reflected  in the  price .It  is  more  user  friendly  than any  of  the  other  products  from Scalextric /Ninco/SCX etc and  for  me  this  is  a  big  selling  point . 
Of course  many  will  want   a computer  controlled  counter  but  not  all  enthusiasts   have  the  ability  to set  up /install /use these  race management  systems .For carpet racers the  Carrera is the  best  option as  it  takes  seconds  to install .
If  I  had  to  mark this  product  out  of  10 I would give it 10 .
Many  thanks again to  Klaas for the swift delivery and  to Henk  for the link .
