My brother and me got a TCR one Christmas, excellent fun until we realised there was zero skill involved, with no slots and corner barriers unless you both went in to the corner at the same time it was impossible to come off the track so you just pinned the throttle.
Scalectrix was a steep learning curve when we got one a few years later.
