Technical Questions About Vehicles
Connect the vehicle to the charger using the USB cable, and then disconnect it after about 2 seconds. This will reset the vehicle, and you can turn it on again as usual.
Due to sunlight or daylight coming in from the side, the light on the road may be reflected off the ground beneath the vehicle, thereby affecting the vehicle's infrared sensor.
The best way to store the track sections is in the original box. To prevent scratches on the track surface, always place track sections end-to-end whenever possible.

Technical Questions About the App
It is difficult to define a universal list of minimum requirements, as performance depends heavily on the specific smartphone model. To guarantee a smooth gaming experience and precise driving physics, the app requires up-to-date, high-performance hardware.
Our recommendation for an optimal driving experience:
- Apple: Devices starting with the iPhone 11 (running iOS 15.8 or later)
- Android: Android smartphones running Android 12 or laterPlease
note: The maximum number of NPCs (computer-controlled opponents) you can add to a race also varies depending on your smartphone’s individual processing power.
The number of participants who can join a race session together 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; however, no more than 30 vehicles are recommended, as the wireless network would otherwise become severely overloaded.
Due to system requirements
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. You should avoid doing this.
