WORLD CLASS RACING

Hmm, this is a poor prototype for the excellent PP-9000 loop the loop. Poor, because the track seems to have been shortened just to suit the photograph! The absence of two 15" straights before and after the banked curve will have made this very frustrating and ultimately boring.

Everything else is here, though the loop is coloured silver/black on the outside - it changed to a very smart red/black on the PP-9000.

The cars are probably not the intended vehicles, but the Porsche & VW are shown again. I suspect - along with the Escort - these were the only 'Positraction' available for the photo shoot. (See 'Car garage' for full details of the stillborn Positraction cars).

Finally, a few things to notice on these final three US Powertrack sets; The hand controllers are all Race & chase type yet do not have an obvious secondary function. The connectors to the track terminal are the same as ordinary Powertrack/Speedtrack. UK Powertrack Plus had different hand controller and transformer connectors entirely.

1 x Porsche 911 Turbo
1 x VW Scirocco
1 x Loop - (4 parts)
