Power Reset

I recently boought a Scalextric Digital Supercars Set from Amazon and after a day the power seems to reset itself. I also bought a digital lap counter and this started showing various states during a races and then the power will reset itself (transformer light flashes) 

I have tried 3 different power sockets thinking it related to a power socket but the same issue happens. 

Is this a transformer issue?

While it could be a transformer issue, I think it may also be due to a track problem. There may be a bit of braid in the track shorting out the rails causing an overload. So first things first, give the track a good vacuum to suck up any stray bits of braid that have fallen into the slot. Keep in mind that with Digital there is power to the track rails all the time and shorting the rails out will cause a problem.
