Abstract
A toy vehicle race game is disclosed which includes a relatively flat slotless track having at least two track portions, each of which defines separate paths of travel having inner and outer lanes. The track portions include unobstructed cross-over areas which are located adjacent to each other and define a cross-over being at least four lanes wide through which toy vehicles may pass from one track portion to another. The toy vehicles used in the game include a pair of controllable toy vehicles which can be selectively and independently controlled to cause them to switch lanes within a track portion and to cross from one track portion to another at the cross-over. A drone vehicle is also provided which is restrained for movement in one of the lanes of one track portion, thereby to provide an obstacle to vehicles crossing from one track portion into another. Accordingly, the players must control their controllable vehicles to switch from one track portion to another without colliding with the restrained drone car.
