Wheel of Fortune track

Davey Friday, 8/11/2023

This was my first attempt to have a diecast race and it failed. Well, sort of as I am writing this lines...

So, I bought HWCity Transforming Race tower and took it to the vacation thinking it will be an instant fun having two cars racing. Quickly I realized that there is no fun with it as a car in blue lane wins anyway. With races out of a game I tried to assamble a tower and pushing cars down the lane was kind of fun yet i missed a staring mechanism.

But this is not a review of a set, this is a story of a doughnut...

This set looks so cute on the cover of the box yet upon opening it one soon realize that reality is a cheap made plastic product that needs painting. Well, mechanism works fine at least for most of cars. TMNT party van doesnt fit on elevator for example, I guess they go for a pizza anyway... So after some playtime with it I decided that I would like to connect it with the top of the tower. Using ikea table with one orange track i manage to make sort of a bridge.

So, i got my starting gate that gives a real jump start, much better than just pushing cars down the garage... The honour of driving the bridge was in wheels of the doughnut car and it made it fine to the last blue corner that it just cant make through (for example m&d ford cant make it through tower either) which was another disappontment... But this is not a review, this is a story of a track as most of cars made it through it was time to let go of frustrations and what is better than blowing a petrol station for that. So i connected hw blazeblast explosion to the tower. And yes it is amazing set, works fine, stickers were applied, so this is a review. 

So, things were now in motion and all i got left were two spin and score sets  that i wanted to use just in case i get bored with racing the garage. As it turned out they were key factor to the track and also the race itself. And yes this is a review, a great set. They are installed after the blazing station and not only driving also the points are important in this game. 

Spin and Score Gate 1

Spin and Score Gate 2 (Finish Line)

To recapture the track:

Start : Ice Cream Swirl playset with orange track unconnected bridge to Race Tower Garage (main driving area) connected with orange track  to BlazeBlastSuperExplosion connected to SpinandScore1 connected with orange track to SpinandScore2(finish line) 

Rules: Cars must drive all the distance and get points at the score wheel, the car with most points wins.

Wheel of fortune track (2023, Zambratija, Croatia)

As any track this one has winners and losers. Among many that didnt made it are mentioned above sweet driver, tmnt van, aston martin 32 ford (hotwheels) wv golf& bugatti, (majorette) to mention some...

The cars that did get very good results are audi quattro, lamborghini sian, burl-esque, porsche911...

But the Undisputed Champion of the track was the Night Shifter(HotWheels) which has made it to every modification of the track and even went beyond its limit.

Sorry for grammar mistakes (I am not native speaker) and thanks for reading about the Wheel of Fortune track.

Keep diecast racing!!!

Thank you. Expected something a lot different but like how it turned out. I have plans for new tracks already... Your idea sounds great, new hw racer verse line sounds perfect for it and also rainbow road from Mario screams to be included. Looking forward to it. Have a great day.
