Default Reliant Rocket Shuttle Toy (Now with Scalextric track!)

I have searched the forums, but can't find any other threads, so apologies if this is a repost.

I was looking through the Argos catalogue for inspiration for my brothers birthday and came across these:

and

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...3ETOP+GEAR.htm

I've seen the RC Stig and the Boardgame, but not the rocket!

And no I am not affiliated with Top Gear, Argos or whoever makes the toys; I just thought you chaps might be interested!

Last Christmas, Marks and Sparks sold Top Gear-branded 'racing Stig' toys.

That is to say, a remote control go kart, with a stig inside, with two models on different frequencies so you could race them.

Me and my brother got one each. Think that was my favourite present from last year.

Ahh, nice to know M and S are using that licence well.

Does the track layout resemble the actual TG one at all? I can't tell...
