Track Engine

For Autorennbahnplaner customers

You know Autorennbahnplaner.Now see what it has become.

Track planning was just the beginning.

Track Engine takes the idea far beyond planning. Plan your track, manage your cars and drivers, run races, measure laps and sectors, use Driver Displays and much more — all in one system.

Track Engine supports Carrera DIGITAL 132/124 and provides track planning for Carrera Evolution. Additional functionality and systems will follow.

Race Control, timing, fuel and pit stops, DRS and Pace / Safety Car need compatible Carrera DIGITAL hardware, such as a Control Unit with AppConnect. What is available depends on the installed hardware.

In Track Engine, a Driver Display is a browser view that each driver opens on their own phone or tablet. Community features are included in the paid plans.

What Track Engine adds

Track Engine works with it

Control Unit

What does it do?

The central unit of your Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 track: it connects power, hand controllers and accessories, codes your cars and starts the race.

Open the guide

How does Track Engine use it?

Track Engine connects to your Control Unit over Bluetooth — you need a compatible Control Unit, AppConnect and a supported browser. Race Control then works with your real track.

Open the guide

How do I configure it?

Cars are still coded on the Control Unit. In Track Engine you assign drivers, vehicles and controller numbers and prepare the race.
