Abstract (en)
A system for racing an electrically powered toy vehicle over a defined course under operator control comprises a continuous track having at least one lane (24, 26) with a pit stop segment (39) and an electrical path (30, 32) extending along the lane for providing electrical power to the vehicle. A control unit (18, 20) is operably connected to the electrical path and has at least a first manual control mechanism (96, 108) used to vary a speed of the electrical vehicle and another (97, 98) to perform at least either a tire change or a vehicle refueling pit stop function. A display unit (16), operably connected to the control unit via a microprocessor (54), displays a progression of the pit stop function in response to actuations of the other control mechanism. The display further includes a changing animated display area (154) as well as other dedicated display areas (156, 158, 160, 162, 164, 166). <IMAGE>
