Hot Wheels Racing Formula 1 Grid Start brings the atmosphere of the Formula 1 starting grid directly into the children's room. Two parallel racing tracks allow two single-seaters to line up against each other and determine who crosses the finish line first. The set includes two officially licensed Hot Wheels Formula 1 cars in 1:64 scale, so the race can begin as soon as the track is assembled.
Both formulas are placed into launchers side by side before the start. Then simply raise the lever on the starting tower, watch the countdown, and press the start buttons at the right moment. The toy cars set off simultaneously along two parallel tracks, and the checkered flag at the finish line will show the winner of the race. The game is therefore not just about the speed of the cars, but also about timing the start correctly.
The track uses the Hot Wheels Speed Snap system, which makes connecting the individual parts easier and allows the track to be expanded further. The package also includes two adapters, thanks to which the set can be connected to traditional Hot Wheels track pieces. Additional compatible tracks and playsets are sold separately.
A major advantage of this set is the racing of two players directly against each other. Everyone controls their own start, and another heat can be prepared in no time. The starting tower, racing stripes, and checkered flag visually reference real Grand Prix races and complement the Formula 1 theme.
Specific teams, colors, and graphic design of the included Formula cars may vary depending on the packaging. The set works mechanically, does not require batteries, and is intended for children aged 3 and up.
