This Lanechanger set appeared on eBay this week and is not in any of my catalogues. The RPS range consisted of the 4000 & 6000, the 2000 listed in 1979 was a non turbo set. The seller is in Canada and I reckon this seems to be a find. The box artwork is fairly distinctive and 'turbo' sets in general are fairly hard to come by.
Set wise, the contents appear to be as RPS 2000 although it does look like it utilises two 9" sections of straight track in lieu of the 15" straight.
One particular point of interest is the crash barriers feature sponsoring by both Toyota and Nissan yet Matchbox never produced a version of their racing cars. A Datsun 240Z might have been a good addition to the range.
