Get ready for some revved-up racing action with your favorite characters from CARS 2 —Lightning McQueen and Francesco are in this race to win it! Kids aged 3-8 love to shake ‘em up to make their engines rev and hear each character car say favorite movie phrases. Let ‘em go and watch ‘em race!

Shake your cars, then place them on the starting line and let the adventure begin!

Good sportsmanship and storytelling through imaginative play.

Bring The Excitement of Cars 2 The Movie To Life
It’s a head-to-head race of speed and fun, all the way to the finish line, just like in the Disney/Pixar CARS 2 movie! The World Grand Prix playset combines the thrill of the international speedway with two favorite character cars from the movie: Lightning McQueen and Francesco. Shake your cars, place them at the starting line, and let the race begin. The more you shake ‘em, the further they go! Cars race up to 20 feet (6 m)! Kids will love watching the head to head racing action as the cars race through the key venues from around the world Tokyo, Italy and London! The track also features the camera from the movie--turn the camera to knock cars off the track! And with two cars included in the World Grand Prix playset, it’s just as fun to play by yourself, or host a friendly competition with family and friends.

Action-Packed Play With Developmental Benefits
Kids love to make things go at this age. Car racing gives them a taste of speed, action, and the thrill of competition while teaching them valuable lessons about cause and effect, and good sportsmanship. With this kind of play, everyone wins! Toys like this "rev up" kids’ imaginations. With the World Grand Prix as a tool, kids can create a pretend world where they control the action. If they’ve already seen the movie—or at least know some of the characters—they’ll get a head start retelling their favorite stories, and then building on these to create their own adventures. Perhaps your race car needs to make a stop at the garage for repairs? Or gets knocked off track by the camera, just like in the movie! This type of play puts them on the fast track to security, imagination, and self-confidence!

Taking Fun Even Farther
The opportunities for storytelling and imaginative play are endless when you collect all eight Disney/Pixar CARS 2 Shake ‘N Go character cars. Choose your favorite characters from the movie, including Finn McMissle, Nigel Gearsley, Mater, Professor Z, Holley Shiftwell, or Jeff Gorvette.

What's In The Box?
Cars 2 Grand Prix Raceway, 1 Lightning McQueen Shake ‘n Go Vehicle, 1 Francesco Shake ‘n Go Vehicle, and instruction manual. Each car requires 2 AA (LR6) Alkaline batteries, not included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Toy for my 2 year old Son! June 30, 2011

My son loves this racetrack. I got it for his second birthday and he's been playing with it every day for weeks. He's loving the Car's movie characters right now and we got the mater truck to go with the set as well. He loves shaking the cars and has no trouble using the setup and it's super durable and was very easy to put together. Great toy and for $50 with two cars it's fairly priced for all it has and all the fun my son has with it.

Bought as a present for my 6 year old son, he loves anything that is lightning McQueeen. It's a good toy, seems pretty durable, easy put together. But, my 20 month old son plays with it more than the older one. I think the ages on it should be 24 months to 5 years. it's worth the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Be prepared to shake September 4, 2011

This is fun and enables 2 children to play with it, however the cars do require a lot of shaking to get them to go well. My 3 year old grandson mastered this easily, but im not convinced that with so many electronic/remote and press button equivalents, this will sustain his interest for long. However, it helps very young children learn to share, to take turns and to understand the concept of sometimes winning and sometimes not. In their own right the cars are fun, chunky and safe for younger siblings.

My son received this for his 2nd birthday- he loves any kind of toy that moves, so this already was going to be a hit. McQueen and Francesco are very durable as he has thrown them forwards, backwards and every side possible and they still work. The only downfall is that I have replaced the batteries twice since getting 6 weeks ago but I think it's because he plays with them a lot. They are very loud but there is an on/off switch (which he has already figued out). Definetly one of those plastic toys that is worth the $$.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Son (21 months) Loves this Track but Francesco Didn't Work December 26, 2011

By Jamie B.

Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son who loved the cars and track. Due to his age, he needs help shaking the cars to really get them going around the track (they'll go around maybe 3 times with a full "charge") but when they go, he absolutely loves it. Only complaint is what a few other have said, Francesco was a dud (would only work 1 out of every 20 times - other times he would just sit there and make rumbling noises). However, I called Fisher Price customer service and spoke with a great customer service rep who has a replacement Francesco being shipped to my house at no charge. So if you got a dud Francesco, be sure to call Fisher Price to get a replacement.

3.0 out of 5 stars another Francesco dud February 1, 2012

Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

My son received this for christmas. First of all it's HUGE. He loved it and if you have the space it's pretty nice. One big disappointment was that the francesco car just did not work. It made a big difference, because my son could not "race" the cars like it was intended. I looked at the other reviews on here and saw that it wasn't an isolated incident. I contacted the company and they are shipping me out a new one. So those that had duds may want to do the same. I feel better about the company for wanting to fix the problem.

I bought this for my 20 month old son who absolutely adores this toy. He can't quite get the concept of pulling up the gate and shaking the cars, but boy does he have fun with it. This track is very durable my son stands on it, crawls on it and sits on it. He loves sitting in the middle of the tracks and pushing the cars around it. It is well worth the money I spent. I do however wish the cars worked better (mater has a very hard time climbing the incline). They are not that much money so I guess you get what you pay for, but overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It's a very fun toy that the family can play with!
