Hi Graham. When some of the track pieces are brand new, the connectors don’t click into place. Those ninety-degree corners are notoriously bad.
There are little flaps on the top of the tabs - and they need to click into place behind the slit/opening on other track piece. To do this, lift the flap up and then push the track together hard until the flap clicks into place... then you have a very secure join!
It does get better with use - when everything loosens up enough. And some track pieces are okay from new, but for some pieces it does take some tweaking to get right. Scalextric did put those tips in the instruction sheet after plenty of customer feedback, but you might have an earlier set?
