However, superfans can take their racing to the next level with the Fast & Furious Hot Laps Race Set. This unique track combines slot car racing with the retro charm of arcade games. Fans can race head-to-head against Fast & Furious stars while reliving every exhilarating moment from the films. The set also includes a link to download the Hot Laps app, transforming racers’ phones into a lap and checkpoint tracker so they never miss a minute of the action.
