Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Carrera GO!!! racetrack:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all track sections, cars, controllers, and accessories from the packaging.
2. Choose a Location: Select a flat, stable surface for assembly. The assembled track dimensions are approximately 4.66 x 2.3 feet (142 x 70 cm).
3. Assemble the Track: Connect the track sections by aligning the connectors and pressing them firmly together. Refer to the included layout diagram for the specific Watkins Glen Duel configuration. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent power interruptions.
4. Install Barriers: Attach the red track barriers to the outer edges of the curves as indicated in the diagram.
5. Connect Power and Controllers:
   • Connect the power adapter to the connection track section.
   • Plug the speed controllers into the designated ports on the connection track.

Operating Instructions

Once the track is assembled and cars are in place, you are ready to race:

1. Power On: Plug the power adapter into a suitable wall outlet. The track should now be powered.
2. Controller Use: Each player uses one speed controller.
   • Press the trigger to accelerate your car. The further you press, the faster the car will go.
   • Release the trigger to slow down or stop.
   • The controllers feature a "Turbo Boost" button for an extra burst of speed. Use this strategically on straightaways.
3. Racing Tips:
   • Cornering: Reduce speed when entering curves to prevent cars from derailing. You can gradually increase speed as you exit the curve.
   • Derailments: If a car derails, carefully place it back on the track, ensuring the guide pin is correctly inserted.
   • Lap Counter: The integrated lap counter will automatically register completed laps.
