Bluey is a children’s cartoon broadcast on France Télévisions (in France). Bluey is a six-year-old female puppy who lives with her little sister Bingo and her parents. We’re back with Bluey and Bingo for some racing on our FIRST track.
Carrera offers two tracks featuring our two heroes: one 2.4-meter track, a simple figure eight (Bluey & Bingo Race – ref: 20063054 – recommended price €35), and a 2.9-meter track with a narrowing lane that will add some excitement to the race (Bluey & Bingo – Let’s Go – ref: 20063055 – recommended price €40).
We’re going to try the 2.9-meter Let’s Go track today.
For this test and because we are already thinking about Christmas, winter, snow, I suggest a trip with Bluey and Bingo to a snowy universe that I recreated with Christmas accessories that can be found for a few euros in Action stores.
Contents
Upon opening the box, you’ll find the curves, levers, supports, and cars in the cardboard section. Next to it, you’ll find the straights and the starting rail for the batteries, a bag with the rockers and their stickers, and the instructions.
Please note that LR14 batteries are not included and that four are required.
Personally, I don’t do this because I prefer to keep the cardboard intact for storage, but if you don’t keep the cardboard, you can cut into the back to make a decoration in a curve of the circuit.
Accessories
The accessory that, for me, makes the difference in this set and will make this track a success because it adds to the action is the narrowing. You won’t just be doing laps, laps, and more laps. You’ll be able to try to knock your opponent off the track in the narrowing because the cars will be touching.
In the FIRST range, this is the only dedicated rail available.
Another accessory, the gantries will swing when cars pass underneath.
Track
The track isn’t very big, but if you have another set, you can combine the two circuits for a big race.
The highlight is the narrowing section.
Tip: You can use our FIRST track editor to simulate tracks before creating them in the living room.

Cars
Bluey, the star of the set, drives a black Jeep-style car.
Because of its size, it’s more difficult to drive, and you’ll have to slow down a little on bends to avoid going off the track.
This car is also sold separately under reference number 20065034 at a recommended retail price of €15.
Bingo
The little sister drives a children’s car with two roll bars, which makes the car tall. This makes steering difficult due to its high center of gravity.
Car also sold separately under reference 20065035 at a recommended price of €15.
Please note that the 2 cars are NOT Speed Arena compatible.
Conclusion
Of all the FIRST sets I’ve had the opportunity to test, this is the most difficult of all. Because you really have to slow down in the corners. This can be a good set for those who have already mastered the First and are still young for the GO range.
The +
- The shrink that adds action
The –
