Yes these were the different colored game pieces used in the game. But I thought the game was released in 1968?
Could this be in error? Perhaps...let's carry on anyway. See all the pieces that came with this cool Hot Wheels game.
See those board pieces? Are they prototype Redlines made in plastic or just board pieces. I'll go with plastic prototypes answer.

Now here is where researching this information becomes interesting...
How many of you redline collectors know this game was released in Italy? Really me kid you not.
The name of the game is 'Brucia Pista"! Translation is burning rubber or rubber burning. I really can't tell with these foreign translations.

Wow this research is even more intriguing than I thought! They released this in Italy with an alternative name. "Grand Prix"!
Me love the Grand Prix series and who knew there was a game to go along with my favorite racing series by Mattel!

Would anyone like a sneak peek at the inside of the Grand Prix games box? Well, me too...
That is so cool and redline era!
