Channel: Tiny Track Cars (74K subscribers)
Nick from Tiny Track Cars took things to a whole new level by pitting 36 Real Riders Limited Edition (RLC) cars against each other in one epic drag race tournament. These are the cars serious collectors keep locked in display cases — but Nick had other ideas! Using a PlayRobotics six-lane timer and start gate, every single race was timed to precision, so there was no doubt about who crossed the line first. Part racing experiment, part collector's nightmare, this video is an absolute blast from start to finish.

This short-but-sweet head-to-head battle shows just how much a proper timer changes the game — no more guessing, no more slow-motion replays just to figure out the winner. Just clean, instant, accurate results every single time. After this video, Jon even asked his audience if they wanted to see MORE of the PlayRobotics timer in action. Spoiler: the answer was yes.
