I've been running on Carrera since the great Etoys blowout, 1990? Whenever that was. While I will admit it takes an adult to assemble Carrera and the wider you make it, 4 lanes or more it is harder to assemble. It does have great electrical connections and I have never had a bad connection between tracks. I've never had it come apart. My only complaint is the extreme banking on the banked turns.
I think Carrera is as close to 1/24 scale commercial track racing as you can get with plastic track. Maybe that is why we don't see it the same. We run only 1/24 and re run on large tracks. Not really the same as home track racing with 1/32.
Old guys like me can't see a 1/32 car 60 feet away!
I have been able to buy a lot of track reasonable by watching Ebay and buying lots from guys that quit racing. If I had to pay sticker price for Carrera, I would have built another routed track and accepted that any future changes would have been harder to do then expanding with the plug and play of Carrera.
Let's hope Mauricio is successful with this, but it just looks like the similiar product as is already on the market.
