Hello

Im looking at getting my son his first set and he loves Lamborghinis. The new scalextric supercar set doesn't seem to come with a lap counter, or the "hot laps" feature. I just wondered if anyone knows of any issues me using the app with the lambo set. There's a £40 difference with the Ford puma set and the only difference is the cardboard gantry for the smartphone...unless anyone can advise other wise? Recommendations welcome (8 year old beginner)

Many Thanks

Hi Sam, 

If you haven't already made a purchase, I strongly recommend that you look in the Carrera system and cars. Seriously way better quality in the track especially the lane changers if you go digital, the xlc's are really smooth in their directional changes. Carrera will run all car brands like Scalextric but is a seriously much better quality product. Carrera can run 1:24 scale, with the correct track and system. 

Sadly Scalextric seem to have lost their way once again with the every increasing cost of new cars and other product, not to forget the biggest issue I'm seeing which is the quality of products is not there no more for Scalextric considering the price being demanded
