The track parts are put together to form a closed race track. Each player gets a racing disc, the youngest player gets the number 1 and starts.

procedure

Each race goes over 3 laps. The players take turns flicking their racing discs across the track. If the lane is left in a train, the disc must be returned to the last place. If a disc is on the wrong side after being flicked, the player must sit out once in the next round and turn the disc over again.
