Hot Wheels Tracks

DS2 thinks he would like a hotwheels track. Can anyone recommend a good one? Are they really flimsy (he is quite heavy handed)?
We used to have a (non hotwheels) track that we clipped on the back of the chair, cost about a fiver, and the car on a good day would manage a loop the loop down the track. Don't want to splash out on Hot Wheels if they are as temperamental as a cheap equivalent! Was also looking at a transformers truck with a loop the loop in it.

This one! www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/construction-cars/c-402/hot-wheels/p-6035/hot-wheels-4-lane-raceway-with-18-cars/

This is the only place I can find it!

My DS8 has had the old version for the last 3yrs and it still going strong. This one is really sturdy and the best is that it folds down to pack away!

Came here to suggest the 4 lane raceway too, my DS got a similar one four years ago (for his 5th birthday) and it has been very popular. The folding mechanisms are a bit flimsy, but nothing that affects the play value really.

We also have a starter set like this, although I can't find it on any UK sites now:

There is also BluTrack which looks great, but I'm not sure whether the good reviews are genuine or not. I was considering this for my nephew this year, but haven't seen it in real life:
