Abstract
A slotless toy vehicle game in which controllable toy vehicles can change lanes in substantially any location along the track includes a track section defining a portion of the pair of the lanes and having an obstruction wall between the lanes preventing the controllable vehicles from switching lanes in that track section. Current is supplied to power the controllable toy vehicles through current supply strips in the lanes, but current flow in the strips of the track section can be selectively interrupted so that the vehicles must be steered into the powered lane in order to pass through the track section. Indicating lights or the like are provided to warn the player as to which lane has power supplied to it interrupted.
