After 40 years these sets still work and are testiment to those that designed and developed them and held the responsibility of enjoyment for me and many of my now collector friends.
I'm pleased you found your way to my Powertrack, Powertrack Plus and Lanechanger site.
This site is dedicated to 'arguably' the best boys toy of the mid seventies and early eighties!
Please enjoy looking through this site, hopefully it will be both fun as well as a little education in how to keep these legendary sets and cars working, collected and also stored/displayed.
If you like the site or want to help me make it better please use the contact button or make a comment on the guestbook page.
I am very pleased to announce that I have now gone into partnership with SlotzPartz Retro Racing after a good few years of collaboration behind the scenes. So now we can provide unrivalled quality of Powertrack Sets and Support to the whole community. Quality refurbished sets are now available through the Sales Section.
If you have just bought an old set for renovation, I have put all the set paperwork available for download and offer spares and parts to keep these sets going. I hope you find the rest of the site interesting.
I am looking for ideas of what people want on this site and I am with the help of others preserving this fantastic toy slot car system. Email or send
me your Powertrack pictures, I will gladly publish them with a 'picture provided by message'.
I do offer spares and all sets/track and cars for sale. If its not listed just use the contact form. Please see the SALES section and choose Powertrack or Lanechanger. Thank you
Keep on Powertracking!

Objectives for me
Currently I am looking at recreating those cars that today are highly collectable, so they can be enjoyed by many. Saving them from the attic/loft or even the tidy tip!!
Re-creating those presentation boxes with clear plastic CAPS so these wonderful cars can be displayed easily and cheaply for collectors.
Cleaning and maintenance techniques. Raising awareness of the Matchbox slot and slotless racing for the next generation.
German Race and Chase Set
German Police Porsche
This is a great German set features the Topple bridge section, the red and Orange No4 BMW, and the amazing Police Porsche.
PP9000 Loop Track
Loop Track
This is the Loop track from the Powertrack Plus 9000 set
Thanks to Paul for this great picture. The Villain van finally cornered by the Police car! The American sets offer another aspect to 'a full collection'. They include several Marvell themed sets Hulk and Spiderman, even a 'Hulk vs Spiderman' set. There are European sets that include Italian, French and German versions too making collecting a far and wide search.
Events / Exhibits
We hope to build the awareness so that for the future we can have exhibits and shows all around the country. Keeping this amazing slot car system running for many years to come.
This scene is the preparation of the stand ready for opening on the 1st day of the 2018 National slot car event....held every year at Gaydons British motor museum. See Events section for more detail
