Christmas has come and gone and Jaguar Racing is alive and well over the winter, at least in the spare bedroom!

The new (digital) track and cars are simply so much better than the original analogue sets. There can be up to 6 cars on track at the same time, even all 6 in the same lane, and with 2 x lane changers, racing can be quite competitive - if you can avoid crashes.
The cars are much truer to life than previously and on the current layout the XKR is around 0.7 seconds faster on a lap than the XJS, which is probably down to the fact that the XKR wears wider rear tyres - scale details correct. However, the XKR is beaten by the Ford GT by a further 0.5 seconds per lap, which is seriously quick.
Perhaps the XJS driver just needs more practise.
