5. When you have set the number of laps to be completed, press the MODE key
once and ( - - - ) will appear on the base unit’s display, showing that it has
been programmed.
6. Hold the START/STOP key down for 2 seconds; a green light will come on
in front of the key and ( - - - ) will appear on the Pit Box base unit’s display,
showing that the race is ready to begin.
At the beginning of the race, when the cars pass over the starting line the number of
laps to which the race has been set will appear on the Pit Box base unit’s display, and
every time the leading car passes over the line this counter will be reduced by one
lap.
* When the race finishes, an acoustic signal will show that it is over, and the Pit Box
fuel control panel will show the winner by making the winning car’s whole line of lights
flash.
* If when you finish the race you wish to start another with the same number of laps
and counting down, simply press down the START/STOP key for 2 seconds again: the
green light in front of it will come on and ( - - - ) will appear on the Pit Box base unit’s
display. You can now start another race the same as the previous one.
* If when you finish the race you wish to start another with the same way of counting
the laps down but with a different number of laps from the previous race, follow the
procedure for programming the number of laps exactly as shown at the beginning of
this section.
* Where you have had a race counting the laps up and you now want to have one
counting the laps down, follow the steps below:
1. Check that the green light in front of the START/STOP key is off. If this is
not the case, press the START/STOP key for 2 seconds and the light will go
out.
2. Follow the steps for programming the number of laps exactly as shown at
the beginning of this section.
1.3 How to refuel during a race
As the race progresses the cars will consume fuel and you will see the fuel level
indicators going out one by one on the Pit Box panel. When the car goes down to
reserve you will see the last 2 fuel levels on the panel change to amber, showing that
you must come in to refuel soon. If you do not do this you will continue to use up fuel
and when you get down to the bottom level the car will run in fits and starts; it can
do this for up to four laps before stopping completely and being disqualified. If you
are disqualified you are out of the race and must wait for it to finish and a new one
begin.
The system for refuelling is simple, simply involving the following steps:
1. When the car is about to enter the PIT BOX access track, press the change
button at the back of your controller to go into the PIT BOX. You must slow
down to go in as there is a speed limit. As you enter you will hear a short
acoustic signal showing you have entered the pits. If you go into the PIT BOX
at high speed a long acoustic signal will sound and the fuel levels on the
panel will begin to flash, indicating that you have been penalised and are
not allowed to refuel, obliging you to complete another lap before you can
refill your tank.
2. When you have entered and stopped in the PIT LANE (you must always stop
between the SLOW DOWN and GO signs), press the button on the back of
your controller again (the one that is also used to change lanes). This is as
if you were opening the fuel cap.
3. Now, press the trigger on the controller to fill your tank slowly up to the level
you want.
4. When you want to finish refuelling, press the button on the
back of the controller once more (the one that is also used to
change lanes). This is like replacing the fuel cap. Now accelerate
by pressing the trigger to go back out on to the track and carry
on with the race.

5.Now accelerate by pressing the trigger to go back out onto the
track and carry on with the race.
To make sure you are in PIT BOX mode when you finish
programming the race and before beginning it, check the
display on the Pit Box base unit and you will see ( -. - - )
with the dot on the PIT STOP option.
Race Mode WITHOUT Pit Box (without fuel load)
This is for if you wish to race without Pit Box, i.e. without fuel consumption. In this
mode you can programme the laps to count up or down and set the braking level. The
only functions you cannot programme are those of fuel load and tank size (capacity).
The first thing you have to do is personalise the braking level. It is very important to
bear in mind that these two personalisation options, unlike that of the fuel capacity,
must be set individually for each car, and that throughout this process the car must
always be on the Pit Lane track (the track with the word BOXES on it) and must never
be removed from it while personalisation is underway.
Follow the steps below:
1.Place the car on the PIT LANE track (the track with the word BOXES marked
on it).
2.Hold down the MODE key for 2 seconds (the letters PIT will appear on the
base unit’s display).
3.Press the MODE key 3 times (the letters CAR will appear on the Pit Box base
unit’s display).
4.Press the SELECT key once (the letters FUE will appear on the base unit’s
display).
5.Press the MODE key once (the letters BRA will appear on the Pit Box base
unit’s display).
6. Press the SELECT key once (000 will appear on the Pit Box base unit’s
display). You may now set the type of braking for your car. Do this by
pressing the SELECT key to set it to 0%, 50% or 100%.
7. When you have decided on the brake level you want, press the MODE key
once (the letters CAR will flash).
8. Press the button on the back of your controller (also used for changing
lanes) and ( - - - ) will appear on the Pit Box base unit’s display. Your car’s
braking level is now set.
9. To personalise the other competing cars, follow exactly the same steps as
with the first one.
You now need to decide whether you want to have the race with the laps counting
up or down.
If you wish to have the race with the laps counting up, follow the steps below:
1. Hold the MODE key down for 2 seconds (the letters PIT will appear on the
Pit Box base unit’s display).
2. Press the MODE key once (the letters BAS will appear on the Pit Box base
unit’s display). You are now set to race without Pit Box.
3. Press the SELECT key once. The letters UP will appear (laps will be counted
up).
4. Press the SELECT key once. ( - - - ) will appear on the Pit Box base unit’s
display and 2 red lights only will be lit on the Pit Box fuel panel.
5. Press the START/STOP key down for 2 seconds and the green light in front
of the key will come on. You may now begin the race with the laps set to
count up.
To finish the race, take the following steps:
1. Warn the participants that this is to be the last lap.
2. Press the START/STOP key for 2 seconds and the green light will flash.
