As a rule, it is sufficient to push the vehicle diagonally via a textile surface like jeans.
It is best cleaned with a damp cloth and a small drop of detergent. Important: Before each trip, the road surface should be freed from dust so that as little dust as possible and lint can be stuck on the tires.

The number of participants who can take part in a racing session is technically limited to 16, which is the maximum number of participants in a WLAN network. In theory, there is theoretically no fixed part of the participant when driving on the route, but no more than 30 vehicles are recommended.
The steering sensitivity can be discarded in the collection, under info/calibration for the vehicle.
The steering sensitivity can be more set in the collection, under info/calibration for the vehicle.
This is requested by the system from Google and Apple when Bluetooth is used in the app. However, the locations are not read out or evaluated by Carrera.

By completing tasks in the app, points can be collected that let you rise to the next rank. With every higher rank, new tuning options such as gears/brakes/tires/...
As in reality, every accelerating, braking and steering has an impact on the tire condition. The tires particularly wear out when you drive into curves too quickly and have to intervene the AI with an emergency braking. This has to be avoided.
This is planned for one of the following app updates, but the following "hack" can already be represented with the following "hack": Set the Ghost Car on driving assistance, put them on the train and accelerate to the desired speed. Then bring the app into the background/minimize. The racer now continues autonomously on the track. As soon as he leaves this because he z. B. was pushed out, he stops immediately.
