What's the best 2023/2024 hot wheels casting for racing?
I have many HW Cars but i was curious about whats the best HW Casting for racing (2023-2024 hw castings)
Also for my future racing, Recently i was using an Acura Nsx for local tournament but the performance was mediocre, it slows on the cornering but quite fast when on straight line (btw the car is stock)

The Station wagons, modified/custom/gasser with blower/engine on top of hood that was put in the latest demolition derby car 5 pack (the one with the crushed van) have been the fastest cars out of box for me, on open road course track. And the latest 67 camero

- I was building a Cruiser Bruiser until I super glued the wheels. — alva1370
Jaguar I-Pace e-Trophy. Haven't tried modding one myself, but they seem to be very fast and very popular for modding. Also, a lot of the 'Themed Assortment' cars (Walmart Exclusive) from different series are quite fast, and a lot of them have metal bases, so quite a bit of weight to them.
- What has fascinated me observing the differing builds of that car is the choice to leave the rear spoiler or delete it. That's a car that I immediately found potential in, solely on an observational basis. CG appears to be naturally high, so I also wonder if folks will experiment with using smaller wheels to reduce ride height, however I feel a big plus to the car IS its larger wheels. — Chris_Hood
I've had good fortune with the Lucid Air I sent in to an electric car tournament at Treetops Raceway Park, and I've seen stock ones do well at Races And Fun. They seem to be pegwarmers(at least in my area) as well, so they might be easy to come by.
- Looks like a forgiving casting to builders of all skill levels, roomy inside, good length & wheel base! — Chris_Hood
- lucid air is really common in my area, buy myself 1 of them — Esih_Racing
Great topic!
To mention something different, the 87 Audi Quattro is something I'll be obsessed over, both to collect and to see people race in rally themed events.
There was a time when R-Lo himself appeared to build only '90 and '17 Acura NSX cars, so you sure didn't choose poorly for your local event!
Any fantasy choices
- Yes, Flippin’ Fast autism awareness car. Kicks butt. — alva1370
- Power rocket and cressendo also really fast in corners (I use them to win an open track local tournament) — Esih_Racing
- The Lethal Diesel is pretty good once you set it up right. Bonus: no interior so you can realli load it up with weight. — SpyDude
Thank you for all your sugesstion and recommendation, really great choices by you all
My Main car (18 Copo Camarro SS) is also great bro, quick when modded perfectly with the correct modder, but the bad thing with this car is the spliter that hits when cornering and also the front skinny wheels.
Also for me Mx-5 Miata, CRX, Ford Sierra Cosworth and Range Rover also quite good in open track.
The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is a fast casting. It has big wheels on it. I've used it in a few events lately.
Check out Tiny Track Cars - Nick does stock rip and race case races so you can see how they do on his track. He's done a few so far, and here's his latest:
- Such a great series!!! We will see some cars race here for possibly the only time on camera in the hobby! — Chris_Hood
- LOL, this is what Lamely Group is missing from their unboxings, RACING! Your move, John, bye! [churlish laughter] — Chris_Hood
the RX-7 Savanna's are very fast. Holds the record on my track with a 10.89 sec run stock with just a bit of graphite.
