How does the "recharge" work in the new racers multi-challenge race track work (8364)

I was looking at the new LEGO catalog and it discusses a large new racers
set (8364) called the multi-challenge race track.

It appears to have "recharge" stations that charge up the cars for
additional race time.

It says that the set required 4 AA batteries.

The cars look too small to hold the batteries and a motor.

Does anyone know how the recharge works?

It would be cool if it were via induction (i.e. coils of wire in the base
unit charge up the car while it is near the coils), but I thought that this
tended to be a slow process.

Is it alternatively mechanical (i.e. a wind up thing)?  I didn't see any
kind of mechanical coupling visible on the base units.

By the looks of it, it looks to have a "winder", basicly runs the wind-up motor in reverse. At least thats what I figured! Josh (21 years ago, 31-Jul-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town)
