Sometimes even though the tech and apps are really immersive but for me I love the traditional hotwheels head to head racing. So to be able to make this work, this track has parts that can work with the old 70's fat track which I wish would come back into the lineup. To me and many old fellas out there still hunt these tracks down where ever we can get them! they add so much thrill to the race! So why am I mentioning this? These tracks can be fitted with a little tape to the original tracks to make that massive banked turn! Connec the 6 lane lineup to the 70's wide(fat) track merging into these new Augmented tracks and extend to where you imagination takes you! So guys grab a set of these and go with the augmented reality racing and line em up!
worst track ever! scanning will not set up on device

I bought this last Christmas and returned it the day after Christmas. This track is awesome and easy to put together. Visually it's great to look at once connected. That is where the problem comes in. It took hours to connect and then sometimes it disconnected on its own. It looks better on a tablet than a phone
Hi, I bought one from amazon. My boy was so happy to have it but we could not download the app. We are living in Istanbul Turkey. How can I download the app start playing with my boy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample in exchange for my unbiased review. The idea of the track was amazing! We were able to put it together quickly. However, we were not able to match the app with the track so we were never able to use it as intended. My 8 year old did enjoy playing with the cars on the track. Too bad we couldn’t get the full experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “I received a free sample in exchange for my unbiased review.” Disclaimer- generally speaking I am not in favor of toys that require pairing with an app as I feel my kids are slightly too young to then play independently. I was hoping that since my 6.5 year old has played with enough hot wheels she'd be more independent but she really couldn't enjoy the track and cars AND the app. The app was consuming and cool to her to the point she tuned out the track. I didn't feel like she could really enjoy- I would recommend for an older kid. Pros: very big and impressive and cool as a toy. Worked well enough after a cumbersome set up. (an hour- some difficulty with the two player mode). Cons: because it is so big, I was hoping it would be a toy we put up and take down as needed but I am way to intimidated to get involved with set up every time so now my garage is 6 feet smaller since I think it will live there for awhile. Set up takes time. Wifi problems are common enough and would interrupt play.

Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear about the issues your family had with this set! Please know we've shared your comments with the appropriate teams for review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample in exchange for my unbiased review. My daughter was so excited to receive this toy! She couldn’t wait to get it out of the box and play with it. The set up was a little complicated, luckily the app had videos that walked us through and made it much easier than I expected. The pairing of the device with the track could be a bit frustrating, you have to get your device lined up just right. And the charging could also be a challenge. But when this toy works properly it is so cool! My daughter and son had a blast watching and playing. They couldn’t wait to show their friends. Even the dogs loved it! Just know that you have to have patience with the app. Hopefully they will fix the connectivity issues, when they do this is a 5 star toy!
