I bought this for my child, remembering the orange Hit Wheels track I had as a kid.

The photo in the Amazon listing shows a configuration with 3 loops and a banked curve. The cars will NOT complete that course - gravity just does not provide enough oomph to get a car through all of that. The best I could get a car to do is to go around a single loop, and that was with a 10' drop from the starting point to the loop.

This is not rocket science (and I am an engineer) - there is just no way that a car will go through that sort of complicated design. I am not sure if the track has too much friction or what, but the cars just don't go fast enough to make it through. I tried brand new cars right out of the package, so it was not like they were too bent up. I tried old cars I had from when I was a kid (a lot heavier / more metal). None worked very well.

Still, even with a single loop it is fun. Just not $70 worth of fun. $19.99 would be about right.

A better alternative is the 4-lane Raceway track:

My son got this gift for Christmas a year ago. He loves it. He still asks several times a week to set up his race track. We set it up and take it down whenever he wants to use it. He loves the set as does his 3 year old sister. As for a children's perspective, it is great. He can set it up by himself to do basic races and jumps. The loops on the other hand are frustrating for him to create and require adult assistance. An older child would probably be able to do them without any problems. The track works with any type of matchbox sized cars / trucks / etc that your child has. The blue track itself is very durable but the plastic ramps that come with it break easily at the tabs. With younger children that aren't as gentle with their toys this can be a problem. My daughter and son have both stepped on or otherwise broke the ramp tabs which makes using the ramp difficult since it doesn't hold the track properly.

As a whole, I would recommend this track. Even at the young ages of my children, I would buy it again. You can order replacement ramps if you need to and the joy that they have with it is priceless.

My 5 and 3yr old sons received this as a gift and have a lot of fun with it. We haven't tried making any loops with it, we just run the track down the stairs and they have a blast.
