Features & Capabilities

SmartRace for Carrera Digital is a lap counter and time-tracking app that turns your Carrera track into a smart race experience.

Ghost car statistics are limited or missing when counting multiple ghost cars in races

Recent reviews

Been a fan of this for 3 years and after every update the racing experience gets better . I prefer using the weather function as it keeps the strategy with incoming storms paramount . Very entertaining two thumbs up !

The App Store page shows add ons like Penalties and Weather for $3.99 but I cannot find a way to actually purchase them. The only way to access them is a hefty premium subscription on top of an already paid app.
