This is the largest Lanechanger set available but I am not sure if was ever launched...
The big trick of this set is it offered a hump back bridge and a pit stop that was 'off lane'.
This seemed to be a great idea but I have doubts how a slotless car might negotiate a hump back bridge. No matter the coolness of the idea was perhaps lost on the very naff cardboard supports that were employed to make it.
The Lanechanger concept could have really benefitted from significant belief in the product from Matchbox. It seems to me that Matchbox merely put its toe in the market but given the choice it would go with slot racing and Powertrack/Speedtrack.
This is rather a shame because the Lanechanger premise offered all that Powertrack offered with the added - considerable - benefit of changing lanes.
R.I.P.
