4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your Carrera GO!!! race track:
- Prepare the Surface: Choose a flat, stable surface for assembly. The recommended track layout dimensions are 6.00 ft x 2.62 ft.
- Assemble the Track: Connect the track sections firmly. Ensure all connections are secure to maintain electrical continuity. The set includes straightaways, curves, and a track crossover. Refer to the included layout diagram for guidance.
- Install Supports and Guardrails: Place track supports under elevated sections and attach guardrails to the outer edges of curves to prevent cars from leaving the track.
- Connect the Lap Counter: Integrate the lap counter section into the track layout as indicated in the diagram.
- Connect Power and Controllers:
- Connect the connection track piece to the main track layout.
- Plug the two speed controllers into the designated ports on the connection track.
- Connect the power adapter to the connection track, then plug the adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Prepare the Cars: Place the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB21 and Ferrari SF-25 cars onto the track, ensuring the guide pins are correctly seated in the track slots and the double contact brushes are making full contact with the track rails.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the track is assembled and powered, you are ready to race:
- Starting the Race: Ensure both cars are correctly positioned on their respective track slots.
- Using the Speed Controller: Press the trigger on your speed controller to accelerate your car. The further you press, the faster the car will go.
- Turbo Boost: Each controller features a turbo boost button. Press this button for a temporary burst of speed, useful for overtaking or navigating straightaways.
- Cornering: Reduce speed when approaching curves to prevent your car from derailing. The magnets in the cars help keep them on track, but excessive speed in turns will cause them to fly off.
- Lap Counting: The integrated lap counter will automatically record laps as cars pass over it.
