My digital 1/32 Carrera tracks & cars

[KD11]

The driver station as I called it is the Carrera 30353 Driver Display. The driver display, when you are racing with the fuel mode on will show how much fuel you have and as you fuel level goes down you can decide on when to make a pit stop to refuel. As I have six wireless controllers I have six driver display stations. Having races knowing you are going to have to make several pit stops adds to the fun. It adds to the strategy of racing. How much fuel you take during a pit stop could make you a winner or take last place. 8-)

I don't have any driver stations and I won't get any, the simple reason is that 90% of the time, I race alone !

That sounds down right entertaining! :D

I just finished this new track and I love it ! It is an oval of ±19 feet long by 6 feet wide including 2 large banked curves. At the bottom straight, I added an entrance to the pit lane and to the road course that comes back on the oval some 40 feet of track further. The 132 and 124 run pretty nicely on the oval and on the road circuit.

That looks like a really fun layout. Nice job! :clap:

So what's the timing difference between a lap on the oval and one through the infield?

[legrandnormand]

I ran some laps tonite with cars with magnets; the oval time varies from 02:528 seconds to 02:790 seconds; I also ran my 4 Carrera NASCAR without magnets, and suprisingly, they ran just over 03:00 seconds.
Going through the infield is a challenge ! For a complete lap including the infield, ±10 seconds is an average with the best cars. (Audi R18)

p.s. I'll probably move the timer and the power to the far left of the bottom stretch to calculate every single lap, going in or not into the infield.

I'll try just to move the lap counter to the far right hand, just before the entrance to the infield; I'll just buy a extension cord for the lap counter to plug into the blackbox.

I really like your layout with the oval and road course, very well done. :)
