Hot Wheels: Race the World!

Hot Wheels: Race the World! is an American children's book published by Scholastic in 2009. 
== Plot ==
The main summary of the story is that a couple of Hot Wheels vehicles compete in a race which spans from four locations around the world. 
The first stage of the race takes place in the mountains in Peru, South America. The Off Track kicks up some dirt, making the Audacious unable to see the course and drive off the track into some trees. The yellow Da'Kar manages to catch up with the Off Track, and both fight side-by-side as they get to the ramp, going off it at the same time. The Da'Kar ends up landing first and wins the race. 
The next stage is in the desert of Mali, Africa; various cars end up struggling to try and drive on the sand (the purple Da'Kar doesn't seem to have a problem as it just flies over a dune). When the cars get out of the desert, the top three is as follows: the yellow Da'Kar, the red Off Track, and the green Audacious. Off Track manages to pull ahead of its competition and wins this stage. 
The third stage takes place in Antarctica, which to the uneducated is covered almost entirely in snow and ice. As expected, our racers struggle throughout this course: Off Track slips into a snow pile, Da'Kar ends up stranded on an astray piece of ice, Audacious nearly slams into some penguins, and Off Track is almost buried under an avalanche. The winner of this race ends up being Audacious. 
The fourth and final stage is in the forest of Vietnam, Asia. It's a tight race as Da'Kar, Audacious and Off Track fight for the lead, however Audacious manages to hit a ramp and fly over the other two cars, ending up as the winner of the final stage, and the Race the World competition overall.
