ABOUT CARRERA TRACK
The Carrera slot car brand has carved out a unique niche in the slot car market with their line of 1:24 scale tracks. Carrera track sets itself apart from the rest by offering the widest tracks with an unrivaled 124 scale (7.79"/198mm wide). The wide track and special surface design provide optimal racing in the turns with sensational drifts and power slide action. No other racing system in the world combines the widest tracks to race both 1:24 and 1:32 scale cars. Carrera tracks have solid supports to ensure stability and do not vibrate due to the rigid (ABS) synthetic material, a new bolt system and a stable track system. Track pieces are built with stainless U-profiles using high-grade stainless steel, which promotes good electrical connections and prevents rust/corrosion in harsh environments (damp basements, Garages, etc) and areas where humidity and temperature changes are present. The system features standard curves that come in 60º sections, so you only need three pieces to make 180º. 30º curves are also available if you want to make your circuit turn at a right angle. Carrera also offers a range of curves with a wider radii to make circuits with up to eight lanes, as they fit outside the standard curves. Banked curves are also available and track borders, which are useful at the curves as they allow the back of the cars to slide out at the bends. Special track pieces for lane switching and squeezing can be used in both analog and digital circuits. All Carrera 1 24 track parts are compatible with Exclusiv and Evolution cars, although each system uses different transformers, speed controllers and connecting sections. Analog track can be expanded from 4-, 6- up to 8-lanes. It is important to note that Carrera circuits can take up more space than other systems due to the wide track.
The 1:43 scale track is proportionally narrower (4.48"/114mm wide) and the sections are shorter than 1:24 scale track. Carrera's 1:43 scale track is very durable and offers easy assembly and dissassembly with adjustable height supports. Carrera GO!!! is all analog track.

Able to accommodate up to six drivers on the same track dueling simultaneously at full speed (Digital 132 accommodates six, Digital 124 accommodates four and Digital 143 accommodates three), Carrera’s digital racetrack adventure means optimal racing through a full field of competition with real-time acceleration and braking, high-speed takeovers, sensational drifts and power slide action. Digital124 and Digital132 scale racers can even plan pit stops, change lanes, draft and pass the competition all at the press of a button.

POLICAR
POLICAR SLOT CAR INFORMATION
PoliCar was an Italian analog slot car manufacturer from the 1960's to the 1980's. As of 2018, the PoliCar slot car brand now belongs to Galileo Engineering (Slot.it). The running gear is Slot.It and all parts are made according to Slot.It quality standards. Packaging is a reproduction of the original carton used by PoliCar in the 60's.
The new entry level models were designed with beginners in mind: new, modern cars with worldwide appeal, lights, a simple one piece chassis, 'easy change' braids, and Slot.it plastic wheels and tires for a smooth ride. They're the models that will also be featured inside the Policar boxed sets.
Main Features:
- Chasis: rather than the usual Policar/Slot.it chassis, there is a simpler, single piece solution.
- Magnet: the cars are supplied with traction magnets, because it is likely that these models will also be used on tracks with very limited grip, such as those found in homes. The same cars, when found inside the boxed Policar sets, will not have a traction magnet, since Policar tracks will feature adjustable power supply and good mechanical grip.
- Wheels: assembled from Slot.it plastic wheels and inserts, to guarantee their roundness, a tried and tested combination on all other Policar models.
- Lights: front lights will be standard on all models.
- Upgrades: most Slot.it high performance racing axles, crowns, tries and wheels may be used.
- Chassis upgrade: a 'racing' plastic Slot.it chassis will be made available for these models, or alternatively, 3D printed units will be available from the Shapeways web printing service.
ABOUT POLICAR TRACK
Policar introduces innovative solutions for a completely new track system. Originally planned for four lanes, it will soon be expanded to eight. The track is in hard plastic, with a textured surface to guarantee excellent grip even without traction magnets. Rust resistant steel rails provide good conductivity. Lane spacing is 3.54" / 90mm. Borders are wider than competing tracks, measuring 2.36" / 60mm in width, with a triple guardrail as well as a simpler ribbon type one. All curve assembly pieces are interchangeable -- any constant radius 90° turn can always be replaced with any constant radius 90° turn; regardless of whether you're using R1, R2, R3 or R4 pieces! Compatible (with adapters) with Ninco 1/32 tracks and with Polistil and Fleischmann 1/32 tracks made between 1970 and 2000.

All components are assembled with machine screws and nuts and the motor pod and body mounting are easily adjusted to provide the best possible handling and acceleration.

All cars are equipped with front and rear ball bearings and all four wheels are set-screw-mount aluminum.
