SmartRace for Carrera Digital App Reviews

The added championship mode was the clincher for me! Now that you can have several racers and rotate the selected cars allows for a fair and equitable race experience. Widgets are an added touch. Highly recommended.

This is a must have for any enthusiast. Adds so much to the track and experience.

This app is a big reason I got into the hobby. I researched slot car racing for a year and when I found out what this app does it made my decision easy. Adds to the competitiveness!

SmartRace has been a great addition to my slot track, bringing data and more fun to the setup. I only wish changing out cars and drivers in the application was a little easier to handle when surrounded by 4-6 kids under 8 all wanting to change cars twice a lap!

Easy to use and works great with Carrera.

This app is SWEET! I use it at home, and it does require a phone w stable stand to scan the lanes up to 6. It has what appears to be great addons like weather and pit stops etc for xtra$. I’m running t-jets so only need the basics. Keeps track of drivers and cars w photos, announcements w drivers names (or whatever you want it to say), set up maintenance reminder for cars by entering # of laps between intervals. I could go on and on about it and have only touched it gently. Download it with no w

Excellent racing app for the slot car enthusiast. Easy to use, tremendous amount of features to track races, car, and driver statistics. Outstanding support from the developer. Constant upgrades based upon user feedback. Highly recommended.

Total game changer for Carrera digital…great for all things racing, if you are at all competitive..:)

Nothing I’ve bought for my Carrera track has made the impact that this application brings to the racing . Everything about it is top notch and the updates just keep making it that much better each time . It makes it much more like a real racing experience and all the data it stores is very impressive . Two thumbs up for an excellent add on .

I’ve been using the app for a few months now and it’s great!!!!

Fantastic product using it on my new race track. I absolutely love it. It is so real. Thank you for making such a product. Mike. YouTube ( Mike NPS )

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.

I like the layout of the app. I mean if your going to pay for something then it might as well look decent. I like all of the cool features and the inventory of cars and drivers and tracks to keep things organized. Very smooth driver displays and I’m sure there is many more wonderful features to come!

This app is fantastic for Carrera digital but that’s not all. It’s great for analog HO AFX racing track too! You can actually do championship racing with an analog track! With the available add-on an iPad connects to a phone that acts as a lane sensor. Sometimes I set out my Carrera digital. Sometimes I prefer my AFX racing HO track. In fact, these days I set up a track for racing solitaire with a crossover so I can race around the track and then cross over and continue racing the other lane aro

This app is awesome. Brings the hobby into the digital age.

This app is extremely well put together. It is intuitive, and has more features than i expected. It just works well too. Props to the developer!!

What an amazing app this is and an awesome addition for the Carrera Digital world! To top it off, the support is really great too. I had a little hiccup in the system that I couldn’t get to work, Marc got back to me right away and low and behold, I had an installation that I had put in backwards on my track so it was totally on my doing. Marc’s troubleshooting scenarios got right to it and solved the issue! Back racing full tilt! THANKS MARC!

The app is great but the in app purchases make it kinda annoying

This app is amazing and how it brings racing to life is incredible. Thanks for your continued pursuit in pushing the envelope of what slot car racing can be.

This app is awesome. I wish it would count ghost car laps. I set up races with only ghost cars. It’s one of my favorite things to do with my carrera track. It would be amazing if the app would track a ghost race just like a Norma race. SmartRace please add ghost cars to the lap counter.

Marc's SmartRace app takes your Carrera digital experience to an mazing new level. There are so many features that mnake the experience of driving so much. So much fun!

Just want to say, Amazing app and it makes races a lot more fun. Thank you. Edit: I purchased the fuel simulation add on and I’m not too happy with that. After one pit I noticed that my car refuels on its own the next laps without even pitting in. Turn that feature off

Just want to say, Amazing app and it makes races a lot more fun. Thank you.

I’m writing this review in spite to say thank you. I have a Race Club sponsored by Carrera Slots US, with 20+ people who come over to my house and race on my track once every month. We tally up points, have a solo championship, a team championship, and even a full awards ceremony at the end of each season. We use your app for all our free practice, qualifying, and race sessions, and so far have 0 complaints. Please continue to update it with new and exciting features, to continue to make this ap

I really enjoy this application. I know it is designed around the Carrera track system, but it does work fantastic with the Scalextric Analog track too using the ARC system as well. If I had only one suggestion it would be to utilize the IR sensor in the Scalextric Arc system to count the laps, etc. This would eliminate the need for another device (iphone, Android, etc..) to run the Smart Race Connect application and finding a good postion for it to track the cars as they pass the start/finish l

Frustration after frustration with other apps, this one delivers in heaps. Precise timing, customization, saving track layouts and personal profiles, you name it. Plus, connecting it via computer to a TV screen and everyone knows who is the boss. On top of that, great customer support. We had an issue when we upgrader our computer, and Marc guided us thorugh.

I love everything about it…… It has 1 bug that needs addressed. If you are running weather during a race, when you go from wet tires to dry tires all cars go to 100% power and brakes (not the preset speed you had set on the cars).... besides that it works Awesome! Makes the racing experience Fantastic!

We have used SmartRace for about 2 years. The continual updates and app upgrades make it an ever changing fun experience. This is the best Carrera app.

Allow at least one Ghost Car stats to register in a race.

Smart Race works great for me. Really love the app. Highly recommended!

This is a great piece of slot at race software. Well worth the relatively small price to enrich the slot car experience. I would give it the checkered flag!!

This works perfect and I can find no complaints! It adds to the fun! All the options are great and execute well! Also has great support with a presence in the slot car forums! Thanks!

FINALLY an app that brought back the voice over and racing sound effects. Keep improving the app. I’d pay for enhancements and will encourage others to download.

A must have, please just read the features it brings to the experience. Also as others have said, my favorite feature of my track.

I have tried this app a couple times and I’m highly satisfied with the product, definitely I can tell it adds full realism to any Digital Carrera Racetrack Set.

Great and regularly updated with new features. Get it now, you will not regret it.

Perfect Race app for Carrera Digital. Looks amazing when displaying on large TV via airplay. Pit stop functionally w fuel level display super impressive. Love this app!

This app is great. However, engine revs instead of chimes when completing laps would give this app 5 stars. More crowd noise when passing the finish line or completing laps. What wish there was a way to count the other ghost car.

This app is amazing but could you please add various engine sounds instead of chimes when crossing the start line? That would make it perfect, thanks

This a wonderful app with great features. Just wish there was a way to count more than one ghost car for races for times like this. Not having company right now so being able to simulate real racing using ghost cars would be great.

Must have! I started racing not to long ago and I love this app! I bought all the features/add ons and it is amazing! If you are thinking about getting into slot cars definitely spend the couple of bucks to get this app!

I don’t know why it got freezed several times. And not working even I quit and reenter the app. Unless I delete the app and reinstall it. But then all my previous informations in the app is gone… Simple issue but super annoying
