In the instructions of 8238, there are details of the new 5206 timer set.
It is a small device with LCD display linked to a rotation sensor by a piece
of wire. The instructions show how to fit it to the back axle of one of the
dragsters.
It would appear to have several measurement modes: speed, distance and time.
I have posted a picture (which would actually appear to be a mock up because
the LCD display does not look right) at
http://nt1.pncl.co.uk/huw/search.asp?set=5206
It would also appear that the set is available only directly from LEGO -- it
says "To order this item please contact: <long list of European LEGO office
phone numbers>"
