A track for a toy vehicle and a track section for forming the same. Each of the track sections has first and second edges and an upper surface extending therebetween. Furthermore, the track sections have a first connector extending from the first edge and a second connector extending from the second edge. The first connector of one of the track sections receives the second connector of another one of the track sections to detachably couple two of the track sections together to form the track. Furthermore, when coupled together the first and second track sections are movable relative to one another to adjust the inclination of the upper surfaces so that the track created using the track sections is modular and adjustable.
