Best Race Track
My son absolutely loves this Cars race track. He loves being able to operate every part of this racetrack himself. We love that it is not battery operated. The flips into the finish line/trophy cirlce are awesome and work so well.

Torsion Winder failure - Poor quality control
It was a fantastic product at first, my son was over the moon playing with it for the 30 minutes that it was working. Sadly, the torsion winder just gave out, after a short amount of use. It wasn't through rough play, it felt rather delicate from the first time it was operated. I have tried to submit a customer complaint to the online service but the page is not reco...

Love love love!
Love this toy!
There are numerous pieces of the tracks so it’s best for an adult to set it up. It’s pretty easy to do and clearly labelled.
Its great when it’s up and running and my son loves playing with this, only thing I would mention is not to press the buttons too hard or the vehicle may flip over the track. Otherwise a great toy that will keep kids entertained ...

Good quality toy
My little boy has really enjoyed playing this. It inspired him to watch the movie. Easy set up and can be stored away easily. The toy appears to be of good quality. Would recommend to any Pixar Cars fan.

Great for any cars fan
My son loves lightning McQueen so I thought this would be a great addition to his toy space.
Doesn’t require batteries which is a huge hit as the amount of batteries for toys is mad!
Easy to use and set Up and Keeps my boy entertained.

My 6yo loves it, so loud though
Who designed this toy? It’s a little fiddly to put together, but the excitement on her face when they see it set up is worth it. The sound will haunts you forever as the car whips around the corner.
Whilst the bonus of not having batteries is a win/win for birthday or Christmas mornings, the sound of this toy is enough to drive you potty. If you’re trying to catch 5...

Amazing
This toy has been brilliant for my little boy and girl. They have been playing and racing most of the day since they opened it. It comes with a lightening McQueen but having a cars fan we had other cars to play with as well. It works by winding it up and the cars shoot around the track so no batteries to worry about. It has a pit stop my two have been playing and using ...

My daughter loves the cars movies and was so excited to try this. It comes well packaged and looks great. Instructions are easy to follow and simple to put together. Its great that you just wind it up and dont have to keep replacing batteries.

No batteries
What a refreshing change a toy with no batteries , you wind it up in order to make the car lap. Instructions are clear and easy to set up, my kids enjoyed putting the stickers on and getting it set up. They love cars and tracks this one is a bit different and they enjoyed playing. Only downside only one car included

Short Lived Fun
This track set is well made, easy to put together and has some fun little features. My girls enjoyed putting all the stickers in their places. To play, you need to wind up a sort of slingshot that propells the car up a hill and around the track on the other side. This gives you a limited amount of laps before you can turn the car off to the winners podium. It was massiv...

Cute
This was super easy to setup and my son has enjoyed it. Downside is the pieces aren’t as stable so it does come apart. Making it car themed was I think most of the excitement. It’s only only loop so I would say it holds about 15-20 minutes of excitement before they are ready to move on.

My son absolutely loves this circuit and has played with it constantly. I love the fact it doesn't need batteries, you just wind it up and off it goes, my son puts the car into the pit when he recharges the winder before releasing again to speed around the track. The instructions are clear and simple, the most difficult part is putting all of the stickers on, so not har...

Perfect racetrack for cars fans!
Perfect little race track for any cars fan. Easy for kids to use independently and not hard to assemble. Helpful the track is a size where other cars can be used as well. The only thing that would make it better is if it could fold up into a carrying case for fun on the go!

Ready, set, Kachow! We love this track set!
We LOVE Cars in this house, and the Piston Cup Boosted Track Set has been such a fun addition. First of all, it is awesome how it connects with the newer Cards on the Road Radiator Springs sets. Of course the boosting action that propels the cars around the track is super fun and a big hit, but what we love is that it is fairly easy to use and understand, so our toddler...

Race just like Lightning McQueen
This is an amazingly fun race track. I love the fact that it doesn't require batteries, any time Lightning McQueen starts to slow down you can just wind it back up and he's back to speeding along. The little pit stop area is adorable and once you're all fixed up you can easily get right back on the track! Ride up to the winners circle

Love it
My son absolutely loves his cars and eapecially when he can watch them speed around the race track. He loves to see how fast they can go without crashing and falling off the track. Would definitely recommend.
