Goofy Speedway is a playground located west of Toontown Central. Here, Toons can purchase a kart, and earn tickets and trophies by racing other Toons.

Goofy's Kart Shop

In order to race, a Toon has to purchase a kart. A Toon may also buy accessories for their kart, such as new tires or paint. There are decorations in the Kart Shop, including trophies. There are four shopkeepers who work here: Phil Errup, Anita Winn, Ivona Race, and Graham Pree.

Tickets

Tickets are the main currency of Goofy Speedway. Tickets, rather than jellybeans, are used to purchase accessories, new karts, and join battle races. Practice races are free, while battles can cost from 50 to 400 tickets.

Racing

Racing is a side activity located at Goofy Speedway where up to four Toons can race in karts on a variety of tracks to earn tickets, which can then be used to enter more races or upgrade their karts as well as add accessories. Toons can also earn trophies and eventually gain Laff points from reaching certain milestones (such as 10 wins on a type of circuit, 100 races qualified). There are three types of racing events: Practice, Toon Battle, and Grand Prix. Racing was implemented to Toontown Rewritten on November 23, 2013.

There are currently six tracks available:

• Screwball Stadium - a speedway race
• Corkscrew Coliseum - a speedway race
• Rustic Raceway - a rural race
• Airborne Acres - a rural race
• City Circuit - an urban race
• Blizzard Boulevard - an urban race

Practice

In a practice race, Toons take a practice run before they do a battle. Toons cannot collect boxes, so it is sometimes hard to win. However, there is no deposit and each Toon will receive 20 tickets for qualifying.

Battle

In battle races, Toons race each other. Unlike practices, battles have payouts and deposits. The higher place a Toon gets, the more tickets they will receive. On the track, there will be clear boxes. Upon collecting one, a Toon will get a randomly chosen item to use.

Attacks

Each attack has a different purpose:

• Banana Peel - the Toon drops a banana peel behind their kart. If another Toon touches it, they are stunned.
• Whole Cream Pie - the Toon throws a giant cream pie forward. If it hits another Toon, their screen will be covered with white cream.
• Turbo Boost - the Toon speeds up, like a normal track boost.
• Anvil - the Toon drops an anvil on the leading racer, stunning them and allowing other Toons to catch up or pass them.

Controls

The following controls are by default but can be modified using the Options menu.

Trophies

By racing consistently, Toons will receive trophies. For every ten trophies a Toon collects, they will get a Laff boost. A total of three Laff boosts can be obtained from racing.

Development

Opening of Goofy Speedway

Goofy Speedway opened on November 22, 2013.^[1] It was the final neighborhood added. However, on the 22nd, they didn't have any racing permits, so no one could race. However, Toons were still able to purchase karts without being able to race.

Speedway Circuit

The Speedway Circuits were released November 23, 2013.^[2] After getting the permits, Toons were now able to race on the tracks.

Rural Raceway

On November 24, 2013, Rural Raceway courses were opened.^[3] According to Shockley, this was where the estates were going to be built. Sir Max also offered all Toons a complimentary bike horn and basket which he then took "back as a way to thank myself for the work we did for you".

City Circuit

In the final update to racing on November 25, 2013, City Circuits were opened.^[4] The streets were still mid-way through construction when the update went live, so there were some stray bricks and some buildings that were missing.

Release of Grand Prix

As Toontown Rewritten entered out of Beta on September 1, 2017, Grand Prix was released so players could get to 137 Laff, which is the maximum amount of Laff. It costs 500 tickets for a normal Grand Prix battle and 1000 tickets for a Reverse Grand Prix battle. Toons must complete Grand Prix races in order to earn the Tournament trophies.

Trivia

• If a Toon drives to the wrong direction of the track, a message would appear, notifying the player.
• A Toon can park their kart at a spot in Goofy Speedway for a limited time. Once the timer runs out, the Toon hops off and the kart vanishes.
• Goofy Speedway is one of two playgrounds (Chip 'n Dale's Acorn Acres being the other) where any Toon can teleport instantly without completing any ToonTasks. This makes a good shortcut for beginners to Toontown Central.
• Accessories can be purchased with tickets in Goofy's Kart Shop. However, these accessories will not attribute a Toon or their kart, and are meant to be "add-ons".
• The attack system could be based on Nintendo's Mario Kart series because of the system's similarities to the game's power-up system.^{[citation needed]}
• The monkey NPCs inside the Goofy Speedway Kart Shop could be a reference to the term "grease monkey" which is slang for mechanic.
