Re: Anybody tell me what this was called...

No way! i had one of those.
The steering wheel moves an arm with a magnet on under the track which rotates and you get magnets that clip onto any Matchbox car

Cant remember what its called though but if you look in the middle of the steering wheel.... is that the Matchbox "M"?

Re: Anybody tell me what this was called...

So the whole track rotated and you just moved the car in and out. That doesn't sound as much fun now.

ahhh but the car was stuck to the magnet on the arm so ... looking at the picture....if you turned LEFT the car would shoot over to the left side of the track.....whack it up to full speed it was a rally on the living room floor

Re: Anybody tell me what this was called...

I wonder how fast it went.........could be interesting if it went at a good rate of knots.

As I remember it went quite slow and got a bit monotonous and the plastic was very brittle..........
