We wanted to compile a “best of” list that any busy shopper in the store could refer to while on the hunt.

Epic Hot Wheels Tracks for 2025!

For many of us, Hot Wheels have been a part of childhood in one way or another. These iconic models always stoke one’s imagination. Whether you’re hunting down rare, limited-edition models or simply picking up a classic like a Corvette Stingray for nostalgia’s sake, there’s a Hot Wheels car out there for everyone. 

Miniature Speedsters, Maximum Fun:

No matter your age or interests, these miniature speedsters offer endless fun, whether displayed on a shelf or racing down a custom-built track. The “Redline Era” of track accessories allowed excited users to recreate loops on cool orange tracks for the very first time. This innovation set the stage for decades of thrilling race action, inspiring generations of collectors and racers to push the limits of speed and creativity.

The Super Curves Race Action Set was introduced in 1970. This opened up the possibilities for many looking for ways to turn their play or study area into a thrilling stunt arena. Other early layouts such as Action City were a bit more colorful, and reminiscent of what Playschool was releasing at the time. 

These days, many enthusiasts feel as if the quality of toys such as these have stepped it up. Within the Hot Wheels arena, tracks have undergone many advancements! Incorporating elements from hits such as Mario Kart have undoubtedly paid off. Some of these modern tracks take cues from classics such as the Talking Service Center.  

Following are our best picks for an afternoon of challenging and muscle-inspired fun! 

The Monster Jam Showoff Showdown Action Set 2-Lane Downhill Racing:

This exciting 2-in-1 Hot Wheels set offers double the fun, seamlessly transforming from a high-speed downhill raceway into a functional truck transporter. Spanning an impressive four feet in length, the track is packed with thrilling obstacles designed to keep young racers engaged. While it’s built for Monster Trucks, it also includes a sleek 1:64 scale Hot Wheels car, allowing for a mix of different racing scenarios.

A standout feature of the set is the trophy cup at the finish line—if a car lands in it, the entire track dramatically collapses, launching vehicles into a spectacular mid-air crash. 

The Hot Wheels Mario Kart Bowser’s Castle Chaos Modular Track:

For those who love a little competition with their Hot Wheels action, this track is a top pick. It is especially thrilling if you’re a Nintendo or Mario enthusiast, fresh off mastering the latest Mario Kart DLC tracks!

This dynamic looped track offers a unique two-player experience. One racer speeds through the loops, aiming for victory, while the other takes on the role of a villain, trying to knock the car off course as it passes near the center. Given the high-impact gameplay, it’s best to avoid using a prized Hot Wheels collectible, as a few bumps and crashes are all part of the fun!

The Hot Wheels City Transforming Race Tower: 

Hot Wheels are always a blast, but the fun gets even better when shared! The 2-in-1 City Transforming Race Tower is perfect for head-to-head action, featuring a dual-lane setup that lets two cars compete in a thrilling race to the bottom. It’s an exciting way for two players to put their favorite cars to the test and see who crosses the finish line first.

This track also transforms into a massive single-lane spiral, allowing cars to glide smoothly down a twisting descent. The controlled pace ensures a thrilling ride without the risk of damaging your most prized Hot Wheels!

The Hot Wheels Neon Speeders Skyscraper Speed Circuit:

Looking for a Hot Wheels track that delivers lightning-fast action? The Neon Speedsters Skyscraper Speed Circuit is one of the most exhilarating options available, built for high-speed thrills and non-stop racing excitement.

This track features a motorized launcher that propels cars up its twisting, curving course before they zoom back down in a heart-pounding descent. However, car selection is key—heavier models might have a tough time maintaining momentum, while ultra-lightweight ones could careen directly off their path. Choose wisely, and get ready for some serious speed!

The Hot Wheel Mario Kart Circuit Track Set:

If you’re looking for a Hot Wheels track with a more grounded layout, the Mario Kart Circuit Track is a fantastic option. Designed at a 1:64 scale and recommended for ages 5 and up, it’s a great pick for young collectors and Mario Kart fans alike. Hot Wheels tracks won over so many new followers with their ingenious placement of challenging curves.

This Mario Kart track is quite faithful to the vibe and visuals of the classic video game. This set is packed with fun features, including lap-counting flags, a powerful booster, and green shell obstacles designed to send opponents spinning. Want to take the challenge up a notch? You can customize the layout or expand the track by connecting it to the Piranha Plant and Thwomp Ruins sets (sold separately).

The Hot Wheels City 50 Mega Garage:

One of the coolest features of this track is its lower profile compared to more vertical designs, making it easier to keep cars on course. However, there’s a twist—literally! The circuit includes an inverted section where cars flip upside down, which can sometimes lead to unexpected crashes. If you have collectible Hot Wheels you want to keep in mint condition, you might want to set them aside for this one.

Storage is another area where this set shines. Instead of letting cars pile up around the house, you can keep them neatly organized within the track itself. The Hot Wheels Mega Garage set is a fantastic companion for this, offering a convenient way to store vehicles when playtime is over. While the two-foot track is compact enough for easy storage, the garage does have some heft when fully loaded, making it a bit trickier to transport.

The Hot Wheels Track Builder Stunt Box Gift Set:

For collectors who love variety and creativity, pre-made tracks can sometimes feel limiting. If you’re someone who enjoys designing your own layouts, why not take control and build them from scratch? The Track Builder Stunt Box set is the perfect choice for those who want a customizable racing experience. Plus, it comes with everything you need to store, transport, and create your own thrilling tracks.

Since you’re the architect of your own raceway, there’s no strict list of pros and cons—just endless possibilities. With banked curves, a crash zone lid, and built-in launchers, the only limit is your imagination. Want to take it up a notch? It’s simple to throw in pieces from other Hot Wheels sets to create a truly one-of-a-kind track!

The Hot Wheels Vertical Figure 8 Jump Track Set:

If you’re looking for high-flying stunts and pulse-pounding action, the Hot Wheels Action Vertical-8 Jump Track is ready to deliver! With its towering 2-foot-tall design, this set offers two different racing paths—each packed with unique twists, turns, and jumps for non-stop excitement. Before launching your car, choose between two exhilarating paths. 

One sends your vehicle through a winding figure-eight, testing speed and control, while the other features a U-shaped outer track with two stunt jumps—perfect for daredevil moves!
Use the slam launcher to send your included car soaring up the track. Need more action? The built-in track connectors allow you to expand and customize your setup by attaching it to other Hot Wheels tracks. 

Which Track Will be Your Next Racing Adventure?

Which one of these stellar setups is your favorite choice? We’d have to admit that the Mario tracks come in hot with a very unique appeal!
