Practical guides
Plan with the Carrera track pieces you own
Enter your actual stock and compare it with the parts list before building. You can then see which pieces are missing and which remain unused.
Verify your physical Carrera track before racing
Before a hardware race, let Race Control identify the required track components. A closed drawing does not prove that the assembled sensors match their planned positions.
Understand mandatory pit stops and pit windows
Set the required number of stops, minimum stop time and allowed lap window before racing. A detected pit visit is not automatically a valid mandatory stop.
Change tyres at the next valid pit stop
Request your next tyre on the Driver Display. The current tyre remains active until the next valid pit stop; selecting a tyre is not an immediate change.
Carrera DIGITAL
Understand DIGITAL 124 and 132: choosing a system, prerequisites and planning your first track.

Open the product guideTrack parts
Compare part number, track system and function. Use the parts overview to compare planned quantities with your inventory.
