Hi Mickey,
the system is analog.
It offers the possibility to run a ghost car on one lane.
i ordered one box with the go!+ system to give it a try. I want to build the ghost car lane into the Desmo.
The controllers are strange - i measured 12kOhms resistance.
With a magnet car (i built an oval), the system works.
A car without magnet did not work to well, as the controller did not respond too well. i could press it very wide until the car even started to move - normally a sign of too high controller resistance.
will report later for the use on the Desmo. The plastic track offered too less grip for magless cars.

okay, i messed up with more infos ;)
the system is working with a pwm module, therefore the controller with 10.8 kOhms. no way to easily exchange the controllers.
controlling the cars is awfull, with or without mags. the cars only start to move if you already pressed down the trigger 80% of its way.
i stopped trying to integrate the sytem in the Desmo due to this.
