Father-in-law is very kindly buying our son a Scalextric set for his birthday but it seems it's from the 'Start' range.
I've read some comments (on Amazon) that it's not 'proper' Scalextric and not compatible with the normal stuff.
When I were a lad one of the things I enjoyed best about Scalextric was buying new bits of track and cars etc. Anyone know for sure how compatible the two systems are? It seems a bit daft to me to sell something as a 'Start' kit if you can't add to it.
