The car-racing contest was most interesting because it required students’ skills of controlling cars to run on the obstacles and get to the finish line very fast. With the enthusiastic support of teachers and many friends, the little racers showed their great ability through attractive and spectacular performances which created an exciting atmosphere of the meaningful Toy Festival at the Asian International School.

The car race is one of the favorite games in Toy Festival.
