Abstract

A slotless toy vehicle game in which controllable toy vehicles can change lanes in substantially any location along the track includes a drone vehicle operated on the track in a direction of travel opposite that of the controllable vehicles and a detour track section in which a portion of one of the lanes has guide walls on either side thereof for directing a controllable vehicle in that lane away from and then back towards the other lane so that a controllable vehicle steered into the detour lane will avoid collision with a drone vehicle approaching the detour track section in the other lane of the track.
