5. Operating Instructions

Once the track is assembled and powered, and cars are placed, you are ready to race:

• Starting a Race: Ensure both cars are correctly positioned at the starting line. Use the wireless hand controllers to control the speed of your car.
• Speed Control: The trigger on the hand controller regulates the car's speed. Pull the trigger to accelerate and release to slow down.
• Turbo Button: Each controller features a turbo button for an extra burst of speed. Use it strategically to overtake opponents or navigate challenging sections.
• Lap Counting: The connection track automatically counts laps for each player. Monitor the display for current lap counts.
• Refueling (if applicable): Some race modes may require cars to "refuel." If your car's fuel indicator shows low, stop in the designated refueling area on the track to avoid elimination.
