Review by CoMod JoergW of Carrera DIGITAL 124 the
/132 Position Tower
(Item No. 30357)
If no lap counter is connected, the upper segment display shows the lap count of the leading vehicle. Since the segment display has only two digits, it shows numbers up to 99. For laps 100–199, a single dot indicates the hundreds place. For laps 200–250, two dots indicate the two-hundreds place.
This allows a maximum of 250 laps to be displayed.
Display example: 66. = 166 laps/5.0. = 250

the
/132 Position Tower
(Item No. 30357)
The Position Tower also impresses with its size. Which makes sense, since, after all, all drivers should be able to quickly and easily see 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 lap count is not limited to 99 laps; instead
, up to 250 laps can be displayed using two dots. The six other displays indicate which car is in which position in the race. The cars are sorted not by their vehicle IDs, but by their positions. So if car #3 is currently in the lead and car #5 is close behind, the top line displays 3, and the line below it displays 5.
If desired, the positions of a ghost car (car #7) and the pace car (car #8) can also be displayed. This feature can be enabled or disabled via a programming sequence for the control unit.
If there are more than six vehicles on the track at the same time, including the Ghost Car and Pace Car, the last two vehicles will inevitably no longer be displayed on the Position Tower. However, if a Driver Display is assigned to vehicles #1 through #6, positions 7 and 8 will be shown on that display.
It is also possible to connect multiple Position Towers to a single track so that drivers—and possibly spectators as well—can follow the race from different locations.
