1. 1

   Coin cargo

   Tape one coin on top of the car with a small piece of tape. Does it still make the loop? Add a coin at a time. How many before it fails?

2. 2

   Plane landing pad

   Put a paper plate where the paper plane lands after the car hits the plane launcher. Score 1 point for a launch, 3 for landing on the plate.

3. 3

   Pit crew

   Give the car a racing number and a team name, and design a paper flag for the finish.

4. 4

   Slow-motion loop

   Film one run in slow motion on a phone. Where is the car slowest: at the bottom of the loop or at the top? Play it back to check.

Safety first: Launch the car along the track only.
