Review by CoMod JoergW on the Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 Position Tower
(Art. No. 30357)
If no lap counter is connected, the upper segment display shows the lap number of the leading vehicle. Since the segment display only has two digits, it displays up to 99. For laps from 100 to 199, one dot indicates the hundreds place. For laps from 200 to 250, two dots indicate the two-hundreds place.
A maximum of 250 laps can be shown on the display.
Example: 66. = 166 laps / 5.0. = 250 laps

The position tower is also impressive in its size. This makes sense, since all drivers should be able to quickly and easily read their position.
The tower has seven displays. The top one has two digits and shows the number of laps completed by the leading car. The number of laps is not limited to 99 laps; two dots can represent up to 250 laps completed.
The six additional displays indicate which car is in which position in the race. The display is sorted not by vehicle ID, but by position. So, if car #3 is currently in the lead and car #5 is just behind, the top row displays a 3, and the bottom row displays a 5.
If desired, the positions of a ghost car (vehicle #7) and the pace car (vehicle #8) can also be displayed. This function can be switched on and off via a programming sequence in the control unit.
If more than six vehicles are on the road at the same time, including the ghost car and pace car, the last two vehicles can no longer be displayed on the position tower. However, if vehicles #1 to #6 are assigned a driver display, position 7 or 8 will be shown on it.
It is also possible to connect several position towers to a track so that the drivers – and possibly also spectators – can follow the race from different positions.
