'Cos outside of the adverts it didn't actually work.
This man speaks the truth.
A disappointed TCR owner.
I had one, too, and it did work, up to a point--it was just a lot more difficult to control the cars. I was rubbish at it and rarely managed more than two full laps, but a friend of mine got round quite a lot of laps without any problems--just faster reactions and a better feel for speed. The other thing was that the cars often broke down. Plus, of course, it didn't become very successful and there wasn't a lot of very interesting expansion stuff available. Most of the time, we played with my friend's Faller A.M.S. Racing slot track.
