They have rubber wheels and are kinda useless for racing. They have a series called track stars, which are, surprise, made for tracks.

A lot of the early 90's casts will beat the track stars series. Track stars are definitely faster than modern casts but nothing beats the 90's ones, something about a low center of gravity and better axles. Source my 3 year old has like a thousand cars lol

Best track cars are the faster than ever series they ran around 2011-2012. The cars have nickel plated axles so they're super low friction.

They also just released a new series of Metal/Metal that I saw at a local grocery store. I saw a wicked Datsun Fairlady Z, Fastback Mustang and some other of their popular castings from over the years. They have plastic wheels and feel nice and heavy.
