"Exciting and unique" says the catalogue (erm apart from Ideal's TCR !!!!) Lancechanger will steer you to victory because the cars really do steer and change lanes. This was a complete TCR rip off and tried unsuccessfully to compete with the slotless racing system from Ideal.
Looking back through Matchbox's 1980 / 81 catalogue I cannot see how this didn't sell. It was superior to TCR in the fact that the Lanechanger cars could hug the inside of a corner. How they did it, I don't know. A small groove is visible on the inside lane of every corner piece of track. The controllers used were the same as the ones you got in Race -n- Chase with a button on the top that you pressed to change lane.
The Thumbnails below show the two sets available in the Lanechanger series also there is a picture of the only Powertrack set available in 1980/81
