YouTubers show what a real Hot Wheels racetrack looks like

Hot Wheels may be an extremely popular seller of toy cars and tracks for them to be driven on, but YouTube channel Backyard Racing opens up a whole new perspective on this form of entertainment.

Enthusiasts built what looks like a giant, meticulously designed, richly detailed track starting near a treetop in the backyard. It takes over three minutes for a toy car to complete it start to finish, so you would be better off just watching the video and seeing for yourself. Two cameras were used for the filming: one mounted on the car itself and the other one giving a panoramic overview of the whole track.

Aside from the tree branches, the car goes over the house roof and through a tunnel. Upon reaching ground level, it accelerates enough to pass through a few roller coaster loops and then gets hooked up again by a special lifting device (but really just a fishing rod). It comes to a halt above a pair of swimming pools for kids.
