I've just bought an old Top Gear Power Laps set for my son's birthday but clearly had no idea what I was getting into. The Ford GT broke on the first day - I don't know if it's repairable. The braid pad wasn't as flush to the body as the other car (a Porsche) and the part where the pad is screwed into has broken. We ordered another car in a hurry because he really wants to play with it with his friends over the weekend but it doesn't work on the track. It's a McLaren 720S. It came without braids so we thought maybe new cars didn't use them. However, when the car didn't work, we put braids on and although the car was then powered and the wheels turned, they didn't grip the track and the car didn't move. Really hoping to get him sorted with two working cars by Sunday for his birthday party!
