Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing

Hot Wheels Turbo Racing is a 1999 racing game developed by Stormfront Studios and published by Electronic Arts, built around forty cars based on the Hot Wheels toy line and including Kyle Petty’s 1999 Hot Wheels sponsored NASCAR stock car. The soundtrack featured artists including Primus, Metallica, The Reverend Horton Heat, and Mix Master Mike, giving the title a distinctive late nineties alt rock and hip hop crossover identity. The PAL release landscape currently records a single catalogued variant under serial SLES-02198, an original release dated 22nd October 1999 on a single disc with English, French, and German language support, with country, case type, and hologram type all undocumented at the time of writing. Research is ongoing for additional regional variants and packaging detail. Collector interest is moderate, with the Hot Wheels licensing giving the title a particularly strong appeal among toy line collectors who cross over into video game collecting.
