Planning a Pit Lane

What is a Pit Lane?

A Pit Lane is a branch in your track geometry that lets vehicles leave the main route and rejoin it again.

In a few steps

1. Plan your main route first.
2. Add a Pit Lane branch using compatible track parts.
3. Make sure the pit route reconnects correctly to the main route.
4. If fueling is required, include a PSAU (Pit Stop Adapter Unit).
5. Check the resulting technical capabilities.

Pit Lane geometry and fueling capability are separate things

A Control Unit alone already enables fuel consumption. Fueling and Pit Rules additionally require a PSAU: Control Unit + PSAU.

Pace Car

Pace Car capability requires a Control Unit plus a second Pit Lane, or a Pace-Car Lane.

Community publication (Digital 132 / Digital 124)

For Carrera Digital 132 or Carrera Digital 124, if a PSAU is present it must be reachable from every physical lane — that's a requirement for Community publication.

Physical reachability matters

Whether a PSAU is reachable follows from the track's physical topology, not from how it looks arranged in the layout.

Pit Lane as a branch in physical topology

A Pit Lane is a branch in the track's physical topology, not just a visual element in the layout.

Reachability is based on physical paths

Whether a PSAU is reachable from every lane is determined from the track's physical paths.

Visual left/right is not the source of topology truth

Physical connectivity has to be determined from the actual track structure, not from the visual arrangement in the editor.
