Excited races of all ages took to the track in a bid to be named the ultimate Hot Wheels champion.

More than 300 people passed through the new Optus Emerald store last weekend in an attempt to take out the ultimate Hot Wheels race.

Children, parents and passers-by all flocked to the new store on May 8 and 9, where a custom four-metre track was created.

Families were invited to participate in the Hot Wheels race, which boasted impressive drops, triple loops and finish lines for the weekend-long challenge.

Optus’ territory general manager for Central and Northern Queensland, Dave Morrissey, said he was thrilled with the huge turnout, giving locals a chance to check out the new store.
