Abstract: Racing game apparatus in which two or more inertia toy motor vehicles are released from respective ramps and travel along respective tracks to a finish gate. A starting flag assembly is located at the ramp and is released to an upright position when the release mechanism is operated simultaneously by two players. Each ramp is equipped with a trap door and a drop gate which are actuated by a release lever to start the vehicle down the ramp. Prior to the operation of the release lever, each vehicle is started so that its rear wheels are spinning, and each vehicle is placed on the ramp with its rear wheels spinning in the open trap doors and held on the ramps by the respective gates, until the trap doors are closed and the gates released. A gate provided at the finish line which swings open in one direction or the other as struck by the winning car, and which serves to indicate which car won the race.
