Pit Race Off
Pit Race Off is available for play to kids of all ages at HotWheels.com. Players choose from one of two courses, an oval shaped track and a funky, abstract road course. Players also select one of five different colored racecars. The arrow keys on the keyboard act as steering, gas and braking mechanisms. Drivers must make a pit-stop, change their tires and refuel, all within the clock's time frame. Players race five laps.
Terrain Tourney
Available for play on HotWheels.com, Terrain Tourney is a fast-paced obstacle-in-the-way game for players of all levels and ages. Racers play against computerized drivers and race using the arrow keys for steering, braking and acceleration. Obstacles slow you down and include off-road plants and rocks, water areas complete with buoys and rock formations and hazardous street areas with construction cones and potholes. Drive over power-ups to gain speed, repair damage or acquire extra points. Players do three races--one in an off-road truck, another across water in a racing boat and a third in a racecar on city streets. Points are earned at the end of each race dependent upon placement. The points from all three races are totaled and an overall winner is declared.
