Digital is IDENTICAL to analogue with just 2 essential differences.
You have multiple cars per lane. 

And yes you need to read the instructions.Takes 30 minutes.

So when I race digital I have EVERY benefit of analogue plus some nice (very nice) added functionality.

My timber track is identical to analogue, with lane changers added.
And I can run it in analogue.

The cars I use are designed and built for analogue. Tyres, gearing, prep, chassis, weight, balance, COG mentality identical.
My controller is for analogue but can be used for digital too. 

Add lastly show me a 1:1 circuit anywhere in the world where every car races perfectly units own lane. Imagine if LeMans was 8 lanes wide? 
How unrealistic is it? 

And can you deal with a fellow hobbyist in your lane like real Motorsport? 

Another benefit. I can run 6 cars in 2 lanes cheaper and more space efficient than any 6 lane analogue track. So for many digital is cheaper and can actually fit in your loft. Double bonus.

Then we have the simplicity of analogue, albeit with limitations.

Me? I can run both, enjoy both and therefore comment on both.

Add no I’m not talking about digital systems from the toy market. Personally I couldn’t use them knowing what Ive experienced. 
If your first experience was with a toy market level system you may have had a bad experience. That bit I fully understand. First impressions count. My first impression was that  poor I decided something needed to be done about it. So I did.

I once had a race with 90% analogue guys who had never run digital before and at the end of the night every single racer was super impressed. No missed laps or other glitches. One guy even giving it 11/10.
So yup. First impressions count.
Make sure your first impression is on a pro setup.

Unsure what the purpose of your post is..
I don't see digital and analog as "identical" 

I enjoy both but , for me, they are entirely different.

Different tech
Different approach 
Different race skills.

I never raced a "toy" quality digital system. 
For me a hobby/club quality must have radio control to the car (not controlled via the track rails/braids)

I don't do "loft" racing. 
The real beauty in digital is the ability to put down tracks that are huge, for example the Henly LeMans 24 hour oxigen event.

I agree with Alan. Digital and analog are not the same.

Here's the issue. Some people like the colour red. Others prefer blue. Is one of them wrong for wanting something different from the other? Some people like VW. Others prefer a Ferrari.

I enjoy scratch building cars, and cruising through the lanes. I don't want to think about adding digital chips to all my cars. I don't care if I have enough gas left to get to the grocery store after the race.

Not to mention I'm a club racer. I need to follow the rules of the majority. Digital is not the majority here in Toronto.

I do wish you well with your ideas and inventions. I follow them. But, I can't use the tech. Not yet anyways.

Having raced RC cars for nearly 40 years, mainly 1/12th pan cars, I'd probably enjoy digital but don't have access to a digital setup anywhere near so will make do with enjoying watching others like the DiSCA events.

Interesting points of view.  
Keep ‘em coming.

By the way I’m talking more about the actual on track experience when racing.

My timber track is analogue/digital. 
The track is the same track. The only difference is the added lane changers.
Cars. 100% identical including car tuning. We use same cars, motors, tyres etc 

Technology? For me same controller.
Car chip. Obviously different.

Race software. Very similar as analogue in its basic form. 
Race mentality. No different for me personally.
Race tactics……trying to avoid being nerfed in corners. Same for both.

Not sure why digital needs to be on a large track and analogue tracks for the loft. Size is not relevant. 

I guess not many here have run on a custom made digital/analogue track at home, but yeah they are very similar.

For me personally my digital track is just an analogue track with lane changers. A chip in the same analogue car. 
Same car prep, track prep,  tyres, controller, power supply. Similar race software.
Mentality and race tactics similar.

So in my life I just add a car chip to an analogue car, switch the track to digital in order to change lanes and change race software.
Of course it helps if you have reliable  digital system.
Very similar experience for me personally.
