At Racing Cars, you choose your own direction – from skilfully dodging other cars to the typical bumper cars bump.

Racing Cars Tovar: Take the wheel yourself

Unlike on a roller coaster, your direction of travel is not set by a track. You use the steering wheel and accelerator pedal to choose where your car goes. This is what makes bumper cars a popular meeting point at the fairground. Friends can ride together, dodge one another or try to weave through the traffic as skilfully as possible. The exact number of cars and the shape of the ride area depend on the particular ride.

A ride can start calmly and quickly change as more cars take to the track. The focus is not on top speed, but on how the drivers interact. If you are using bumper cars for the first time, familiarise yourself with the controls before setting off and follow the staff’s instructions.

Racing Cars Tovar: Technical details

Racing Cars Tovar is classified as a classic bumper cars ride, or self-drive track. The public sources reviewed so far do not provide reliable technical details about the specific physical ride operated by Tovar, such as its manufacturer, year of construction, track size, power supply, number of cars or individual ride programmes. These details therefore remain unknown. Different cars may be used on the same bumper cars track, or replaced over the years. Such changes should not be equated with replacing the entire ride.

Operator and identification

The operator name Tovar is important for identification, because terms such as Racing Cars or bumper cars are also used by other showmen. Historical photos and videos must therefore show not just a similar sign, but the actual ride. A picture of another operator’s bumper cars would not be suitable as a featured image. Documented appearances at earlier fairs can help when searching for images, but do not in themselves prove participation at a future event.

Tips for a good ride

If you are riding for the first time, read the rules at the ticket office. They explain the minimum age, accompanying adults and permitted capacity. Keep both feet inside the car during the ride and follow the staff’s instructions. Drive carefully rather than deliberately causing particularly hard collisions. If you would rather take photos, you can watch the lights and cars from outside the track.
