The packaging is made almost entirely without plastic.
Connect the vehicle to the charger using the USB cable, then disconnect it after about 2 seconds. This will reset the vehicle, and it can then be turned on normally.
Due to sunlight or daylight coming in from the side, the light on the road may reflect off the underside of the vehicle and thus interfere with the vehicle's infrared sensor.
The best way to store the track sections is in their original box. To prevent scratches on the track surface, always place the track sections track-to-track whenever possible.
Usually, it is enough to slide the vehicle diagonally across a fabric surface, such as denim.
The best way to clean it is with a damp cloth and a small drop of dish soap. IMPORTANT: Before each ride, you should remove any dust from the tread surface to minimize the amount of dust and lint that can stick to the tires.
The dimensions of the standard straight section are: 25 × 43.3 cm.
The radius of the standard curve is: 37.5 cm (measured at the center of the track).
The dimensions of the standard track section in a set are 251 × 175 cm, depending on the layout configuration, with a track length of 609 cm.

Yes, the spoiler and both side mirrors are removable and available as replacement parts.
Every model of the same vehicle type comes from the factory with the same driving characteristics and handling. These can be customized using the various settings in the app.

The number of participants who can join a race session at the same time is technically limited to 16, which is the maximum number of participants on a Wi-Fi network. During free practice on the track, there is theoretically no fixed limit on the number of participants, but we recommend no more than 30 vehicles.
The steering sensitivity can be reduced in the settings menu under INFO/CALIBRATION for the vehicle.

Bluetooth is used for communication between smartphones or tablets and the vehicle. Wi-Fi is used for communication between the individual drivers' smartphones for race management and data analysis.
By completing tasks in the app, you can earn points that allow you to advance to the next rank. With each higher rank, new tuning options are unlocked, such as transmission, brakes, tires, and more.
Just like in real life, every time you accelerate, brake, or steer, it affects the condition of your tires. Tires wear out particularly quickly when you take corners too fast and the AI has to intervene with an emergency brake. This should be avoided.
This is planned for one of the upcoming app updates, but it can already be achieved in principle using the following "workaround": Set Ghost Car to the "HIGH" driving assistance level, place it on the track, and accelerate to the desired speed. Then minimize the app. The racer will now continue driving autonomously on the track. As soon as it leaves the track—for example, because it was pushed off—it will stop immediately.
