Slot cars Part III - Management and Racing 

Thanks Mark

Thanks Matthew. I will

I'm trying to do just that by decreasing the tires grip and setting the cars speed to the actual scale. Not achieved yet.

@@pedrovskyyy Bom Dia Pedro, I was wondering what would look visually on one of your layouts - does Carrera speedometers (on top of tracks) computes real "scaled" prototype race car speed or is it arbitrary? Abrigado, Ciao, L

@@lancelot1953Boa noite Lancelot, I don't have carrera speedometers and so I don't know how they work. What I have is the Smartrace race management software that communicates with the track control unit. On this software, I can record the actual track length as well as the cars scale (1:32 in my case). When the cars pass over the control unit sensor, the software displays the lap time and computes the average scale speed. And it's very accurate. Concerning carrera speedometers, they must be accurate also if there is a way of recording the track length and the cars scale you are racing with.

What's the purpose of being alive?

That would be an excellent idea. It would also worked if the the control unit was programmed for not allowing a lane change when both sensors of the double crossing change lane track section were actuated. For the rest of the change lane track sections, where there is just one crossing, instead of just one sensor, there would have to be an additional one for the other car.

Thanks Joe, I new that already. But it only works if you put one or two ghost cars in the track (one on each lane). As I was racing against more than two ghost cars, I would have to put more than one on the same lane. If the ghost cars didn't change lanes, the fastest car would catch the slower one and the two would race together from then on. Not what I wanted.

Thanks Gene. Sub you too.

Thanks Jovitey. I'm planning an expansion to the current track layout. The track will have 22.80m. When it's ready, I will make a video of it.

Obrigado Paulo, estou a alterar a pista neste momento, vai ficar com 22m e com duas seções muito interessantes em termos de condução. Assim que estiver pronta vou fazer mais uns vídeos.

Pedro. Minha pista é bem menor. Mas eu optei por correr com os carros tamanho 124. Aqui no Brasil é difícil de ampliar o layout usando curvas diferentes da 1/60, porque qualquer acessório… bordas… enfim, tudo é muito caro.. mas devagar vou melhorando

@@paulomartinatti3058 Paulo, penso que o tamanho ideal para esta largura de pista é 1:32. A pista parece ainda maior assim. Quanto aos carros, tanto uns como outros têm muita qualidade e detalhe. Talvez um dia experimente...
