Stunt people will show off their skills in recognisable cars and bikes in six shows this autumn.
Fans of Hot Wheels will recognise models like the the GT Scorcher, Boneshaker, Rodger Dodger - as well as Street Bikes and ATVs.
The Hot Wheels performers will take on gravity-defying backflips and daring ramp jumps and attempt a 10-meter-tall 360-degree loop.
The Hot Wheels Stunt Show has been teased to have 'next-level thrill for fans of all ages'.
Fans are also invited to attend the 60-minute Hot Wheels Pre-Show Party prior to each performance.
Here you can get autographs from the drivers, take pictures with the Hot Wheels Stunt Show vehicles, and do other interactive Hot Wheels activities dotted around the arena.
Watch as world-class drivers take Hot Wheels vehicles through a series of stunt challenges, with each competition getting more difficult and even more epic.
Hot Wheels were introduced by Mattel on May 18, 1968 with just 16 models, known as the "Sweet 16."
Since then Hot Wheels has sold over 6 billion cars since its launch, making it one of the best-selling toys of all time, accord to The Washington Post and The Telegraph.
Hot Wheels Stunt Show 2025 will be in Aberdeen on September 27-28 at the P&J Live Arena. It will then move to Newcastle at the Utilita Arena on October 4-5.
It will finish up in London at Wembley on October 25-26. Matinee and evening performances are available across all dates.

Earlier this year, Hot Wheels was in the UK for the Monster Trucks Live tour which had glow in the dark trucks and a fire and ice-breathing dragon.
There was also an appearance from the daring Hot Wheels Freestyle Motocross Team who took on some risky and impressive stunts.
To sign up for tickets and for more information go to their website.
There are lots of live events across the UK this year including a 'pint-sized Glastonbury' perfect for music fans who hate crowds.

Brits recognise extract from the Lord's Prayer over famous line from Star Wars, reveals poll

Can you guess what the Star Wars line is? PRAYER STILL A FORCE Brits recognise extract from the Lord's Prayer over famous line from Star Wars, reveals poll AN extract from the Lord's Prayer is more recognisable than a famous line in Star Wars, according to a poll. More people also identified Jesus Christ's ancient teaching than the national anthem. 3 Archbishop of York says The Lord's Prayer remains a 'steady guide' that still resonates with people of all faiths and none Credit: PA Some 80.3 per cent knew 'Give us this day our daily bread' is from the Lord's Prayer, also known as the 'Our Father'. It beat the 79.9 per cent recognising 'May the Force be with you' from the Star Wars films. 'To be or not to be' from Shakespeare play Hamlet was identified by 73 per cent. Some 63 per cent matched 'happy and glorious, long to reign over us' with God Save The King in the Church of England's poll of 2,000-plus people. The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said the findings suggest the prayer remains a "steady guide" and something which continues to "resonate with people of all faiths and none". Mr Cottrell is leading a "tour" of events at churches and cathedrals across the north of England as part of his Faith In The North initiative, with a focus on the prayer. He said: "These results reflect what we've been hearing across the north of England through our Faith In The North initiative, which invites people to explore the Lord's Prayer. "Lines like 'Give us this day our daily bread' speak powerfully to today's challenges, reminding us to seek sufficiency, not excess, and to consider what 'enough' truly means."

‘Crass' cops slammed for playing ‘snog, marry, kill' with mugshots of local call girls and felons

Read on to find out how playing the popular game could land you in trouble COP QUIZ FURY 'Crass' cops slammed for playing 'snog, marry, kill' with mugshots of local call girls and felons Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LAYING 'snog, marry, avoid' with colleagues at work could be sexual harassment, a tribunal has ruled. The 'crass' and 'inappropriate' game may breach the Equality Act, an Employment judge said. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The risqué quiz involves naming three people and then asking a person to pick which one you would like to kiss, which one you would get married to and which one you would steer clear of altogether. In the BBC hit comedy Gavin and Stacey, Pam, Mick, Gavin and Smithy played a version of it featuring celebrities during a car ride from Essex to Wales. However, the tribunal found it may break workplace laws. The ruling came in the case of a police officer who sued Derbyshire Police after a female colleague involved him in the game — using mugshots of sex workers. The officer candidly admitted to the tribunal that she had 'jokingly' played the game with co-workers and included PC Shafarat Mohammed in their discussion. PC Mohammed claimed that during the discussion in May or June 2022 he was only shown images of black women and was asked what he liked about one of them. He said he was 'embarrassed' and 'offended' by the questioning and felt it was inappropriate. The tribunal judge said: 'We agree that the questions were inappropriate.' However, the tribunal found there was no racial or religious element to it as the sex workers were of varying ethnicities. PC Mohammed lost his case for racial and religious discrimination and harassment. Two top cops accused of mocking a colleague's Irish accent in 'grossly offensive' leaving video
