Carrera Hybrid – even more fun with reliable lap counting
Carrera Hybrid is a racetrack system from Carrera that offers a mix of traditional slot car action and modern video game technology. Instead of grooves, the cars use AI-supported control via a smartphone app, which allows free driving, overtaking at any point, and virtual tuning.
Unfortunately, there are always problems with lap counting and timekeeping due to the concept. With SmartRace in combination with the Mini Race Challenge timekeeping system, this is finally no longer an issue.
SmartRace for Carrera Hybrid offers you:
Reliable lap counting and lap timing
Vehicle & Driver Management

Simple, fast, and precise
How it works
The Mini Race Challenge timing system is the perfect tool for timing on racetracks and racing cars from a scale of 1:76 upwards. With an RFID sticker that is simply attached to the vehicle and requires no power supply, and an antenna that is placed under the track, lap times can be recorded for any number of vehicles.
Mini Race Challenge connects to SmartRace via Bluetooth, which then displays lap times and can be customized to suit your needs.
