I am a kickstarter backer of that project. I love the end result as it is such a better experience than slot car racing. BUT please make the app available on all app stores. Right now the app is limited to specific countries. My friends coming home to play cannot use their phones as they are on other countries App Store. If you had plans to do limited release of the game you should have made that clear in the project and on the box. I have 6 racers and I can’t race :-(

Hi ShinaiMaster,we are working on expanding the supported markets. However, because of local laws we cannot provide the app globally at the moment. We have to make sure to comply with data privacy laws in every region, so we and our legal team roll out the service region-by-region.The app should be available in the United States. If you experience issues with downloading the app from within the United States, please reach out to our support team at support.carrera-hybrid-app.at@carrera-revell.com

Carrera Hybrid is really the first fully integrated RC car racing system that is affordable enough for the average person. The lap counting feature alone is fantastic and allows for great competitive multiplayer races and the cars themselves are built well enough to allow for competitive racing as opposed to gimmickry that has been a staple of previous slotless sets (Anki, Hotwheels AI). The only thing that I feel needs to be improved is the penalty system for competitive race setups. I like the steep penalties for corner cutting but when we did a trial run with 8 competitive RC car drivers chaos ensued after turn 1 when no one knew how much penalty time they had gained and it appeared that cars that either overshot a turn or were forced of the track by another car also received the same level of penalty as corner cutting. It would be beneficial if there was a way to distinguish between cars cutting over the red strip versus cars falling off the track on the blue side (where there is less or no time gained)Overall great product and the app is pretty good as well and getting better with each update

First I would love to see a steering angle adjustment allowable when using an external game pad. I have a Bluetooth steering wheel that works great in concept but need to dial it down a bit so as not to need to turn the wheel so much on either direction. That would be fantastic. Second can the driving with AI or CPU be fixed, I can’t get any cars to race alongside actual game participants. Do you need a secondary phone for this, I’ve searched everywhere and can not find a solution. It would be ideal to simply activate a car and click drive or AI mode all from one spot. But I can’t even figure out any sort of self driving although advertised. I would massively increase my fleet if this were to work as I expected. These two changes would take my 3 stars & turn them into 10 out of 5! I have an entire neighborhood wanting to jump in and race this summer. This may add over a dozen “new” RC fans!

Tangoprime
Updates review now that the latest firmware fixes corrected the calibration wobble and added NPCs.Carrera knocked it out of the park with this - can’t wait to see where it goes from here (pitting, etc. later this year?). Would still like to see Metric / Imperial units in setting, but other than that, just keep it up.Carrera - please work on getting the new stuff to the North America / US market, we’re still waiting on the hairpins / 30^ corners and new Porsches from late 2025 to be available.

Hey Tangoprime, thanks for your review! Of course we will continue to enhance the HYBRID System! We recently launched in the US. I have added the feature of switching between metric/imperial units to the backlog. Have a nice day! - Your Carrera HYBRID Team
