Nice racing. The start was uneventful and the finish wasen't close but until the crash it was good to watch. Nice strategic driving. Ever do shorter races. two maybe four laps?

Pretty cool, I love the slow mo and the lane change on it. Funny how you can be older and still play with cars like you're still lil' kids.

@fordyrox also you could try asking your questions on one of the slot car forums, the people on them are generally only too glad to help with anything you don't know or understand. Don't feel silly about asking questions that you might think are a bit dumb because you don't know the answers, this is far from the case, ask away as lots of people enjoy answering questions and helping new comers to the hobby and people that are just interested.

@fordyrox this could be happening because of the type of car you are using, often the cars that come in some sets, such as the Mini type cars, do not handle very well or go so fast, they do slide of on the corners badly, even if they have the magnet in the car. Upgrade to better rear tyres, silicone or urethane(use one or the other, do not use both on same track), or just get better cars. A little research will help you learn in more detail, and you will learn from experience in this hobby.

@Jigsaw3477 you see the green number 2 on the lcd display on the lap counter, that denotes car 2 or lane 2, I think you press a button on it to show laps for the number 1 car or lane 1. It may also change automatically depending which car is in the lead. Something like that anyway. Also note that is only a lap counter and not a lap timer!, a common mistake to make when buying that item - thinking it is lap timer, but that particular device only counts the laps, no timer on that one.
