Abstract: A track arrangement for toy vehicles with arcuately curved jump-off and jump-on ramps between which a toy vehicle can carry out a free-flying jump. The ramp tracks each have an arc between 90.degree. and 180.degree., and the ramps are offset transversely to the track elongation by at least one track width. The ramps are oriented so that the tracks of the jump-on ramp is located on an extension of the trajectory of the toy vehicle, which is determined by the jump-off ramp.

Abstract: A housing having a base plate adapted to be used as part of a toy track is provided. A braking-bar is provided in one side wall, that is parallel to the base plate at the level of the upper area of the wheels of a car to be used on said track and is pivotable inwardly over the track at one part of its length against a spring tension at the level of the side wall. The braking bar will press against a drive wheel of the car and prevent it from moving. A locking member is mounted in the housing and movable between two positions, that releases the braking-bar in one position and that holds the braking-bar in place pivoting inwardly in the other position.
