Fixes

• Fixed the planner falsely warning "you're almost a loop" on a brand-new, empty track.

Fixes

• Fixed a rare case where a piece you placed right before closing or refreshing the planner could be lost.

Features

• Every layout now has a printable Build Sheet — a step-by-step guide to building it on your table, with a diagram of the finished track, the parts you'll need, and each piece in the order you place it.

Improvements

• The planner now shows your track's overall size — its width by height on the floor — so you can tell at a glance whether a layout will fit your space.

Improvements

• Turn on "Fits here" in the palette and the pieces that can't connect to the end you've selected drop to the bottom, greyed out — so the parts that'll actually snap on stay front and center.

Features

• Delete a piece from the middle of your track and Trackwright now offers to close the gap — the rest of the layout slides back to reconnect in one click.

Improvements

• You can now repair every one of your layouts that uses a discontinued piece in a single action from Settings — and if any layout ends up with overlapping track, it's called out by name so you can check it, with one-click undo.

Fixes

• Fixed pit lanes that could come out reversed — the entrance and exit now line up with the direction your cars actually run, whichever end of the Control Unit you build from.

Fixes

• The planner now welcomes you back with your most recent layout ready to reopen in one click, instead of a blank track that made it look like your work had vanished.

Improvements

• When a retired crossing-ramp is a real over/under bridge, you can now swap it for the current Ramp Bridge Crossing in one click — and undo if it shifts your track; ramps used on their own for elevation are left as they are.

Improvements

• When your layout has an older version of a piece we've rebuilt, you can now swap it for the current one in a single click from the repair panel — and undo if the track shifts more than you wanted.

Improvements

• You'll now get a friendly heads-up when a saved layout uses an older version of a piece we've since rebuilt — it still works exactly as saved, and you can tuck the note away with a click.

Fixes

• Fixed a pit lane that would only attach to one end of the Control Unit — you can now add a pit from either end, whichever way your cars run.

Improvements

• Dragging pieces from the palette is much smoother now — pieces show a grab cursor so it's clear you can drag them, they snap to the nearest connector automatically instead of making you drop exactly on it, a live preview shows where the piece will land, and the piece list no longer opens with greyed-out items sitting on top.

Features

• You can now drag a piece straight from the palette onto the track — a green preview shows where it'll snap before you drop it.

Features

• If you move a piece and can't get the track to reconnect, a new "Snap back" button puts it back where it was and closes the loop for you.

Features

• Overpass supports now stand clear of the track — the legs under a bridge crossing no longer poke through the lane passing beneath it.

Features

• You can now delete a single piece from your layout without the rest of the track going with it — the pieces after it stay put and leave a gap you can fill.

Fixes

• Fixed two building snags: you can now keep laying track past a pit lane, and the Control Unit snaps back into place when you move it out and drop it back in.
• Fixed the FUEL marking on the pit-lane adapter — it now reads the right way round and sits on the correct lane.

Features

• Layouts you build now save to your account on their own as you work, and if the same layout gets changed on two devices you'll be asked which version to keep instead of quietly losing your edits.

Fixes

• Fixed your layout's name vanishing from the top bar the moment you save it on a narrower window.

Improvements

• You can now add a hairpin or pit lane right from the piece palette — and choose which way it curves — instead of the pop-up bars that used to sit on screen while you built.

Features

• You can now find hairpin turns by searching "hairpin" or "u-turn" in the palette, and drop a full 180° hairpin onto your track in one click — it lays in three tight R1 curves for you.
• Unsaved track layouts are now saved automatically and listed in My Layouts as drafts you can jump right back into — and different layouts no longer overwrite each other.

Features

• Start a new track from the **Oval with Pit Lane** template — a ready-made oval with a working pit lane and a fuel stop already built in.
• You can now add a pit lane to a track you've already closed into a full loop, or build one by hand — and pieces snap together more clearly, with the spot they'll connect lighting up as you drag.

Improvements

• Adding a pit lane is now right where you need it instead of hidden in a menu, and you can flip it to either side of the track so it sits where you want.

Fixes

• Fixed a finished loop appearing to fall apart when you tried to insert a piece into it — the planner now tells you that you can't add a piece to a closed circuit.

Improvements

• You can now add a red-and-white kerb to a curve or straight by clicking a small marker on its inside or outside edge — hover a piece to reveal the markers, no need to select it first.

Improvements

• You can now switch the planner between imperial (feet & inches) and metric (metres & millimetres) with a toggle in the toolbar — and it remembers your choice next time.

Improvements

• The circuit readout now shows how far apart your two open track ends are as you build, so you can see at a glance exactly how close you are to closing the loop.

Improvements

• You can now show or hide the reference grid, your build tables stay put on the bottom layer — click one to select it before moving — and you can size any number of tables to match your real setup.

Improvements

• Curbs can now be added to straight pieces, not just curves — select a straight and use Outside or Inside Curb to line it with a run-off strip.

Features

• Three new ready-made tracks join the starters — a figure-eight that crosses over itself, a flowing road course, and a chicane course — so there's more to build from than a plain oval.
• When your track is nearly a full loop, the planner now shows how far apart the two loose ends are and — with one click — can add the piece or two that closes it (and it just says so when there isn't a simple fix, instead of guessing).

Improvements

• Single-lane track pieces now connect straight onto the main two-lane track, so you can branch a single lane off your circuit.
• Starting a new layout now lets you begin from a ready-made track instead of a blank canvas — pick a starter and start building right away.

Features

• The Get Started tour now walks you through everything new — single-lane pieces, bridge crossings, banking, curbs, dropping a piece into the middle of a run, one-click repairs, the build-table fit check, and more — and the demo track shows its connection points right away instead of after your first click.
• When you sign in after this update, a quick welcome walks you through what's new and points out any saved-layout pieces that need replacing after our track-geometry rebuild — so you know exactly what to fix.
• You can now add single-lane track sections — quarter and third straights plus R1–R4 curves — onto a specific inside or outside lane, so your two lanes can split off and run their own paths.
• - Lane changes now drop in as a complete two-piece section that moves, rotates, and deletes as one — just like the real Carrera part.

Improvements

• Guided repair now opens right over your track instead of in a side panel, and when a discontinued piece turns up in more than one place, each spot gets its own fix — so clearing one never disturbs the others.
• Repairing a saved layout is clearer now — the fix button stays in view instead of hiding under the coaching text, and pieces that are no longer sold show up on your track so you can see exactly what needs replacing.
• When your layout uses track that's no longer sold, the planner can now remove those pieces in one click and points you to the current replacement — and the ramp-bridge crossing sections are available individually so you can rebuild the crossing to fit your space.
• Trackwright now spots when your layout uses a piece Carrera no longer makes — like the old crossing ramp — and tells you the current piece to use instead, so a section that won't work no longer leaves you guessing.
• The over/under crossing now stands on support legs beneath its raised span, matching the real bridge set.
• The over/under Ramp Bridge Crossing now drops in as a single palette piece — one click places the whole bridge, instead of adding four separate sections.
• The over/under crossing is now a proper full-size bridge — the track ramps up and over it with the correct height and clearance, instead of the old undersized hump.

Fixes

• Fixed the "Remove and replace" repair sometimes deleting a big chunk of your track instead of just the pieces it flagged — now it removes only those pieces and leaves the rest of your layout exactly where it was.
• Fixed flat curves and chicanes placed inside a banked turn so they now bank along with it in the 3D view, instead of lying flat with a step.
• Fixed the 3D view so straights leading into and out of a high-banked curve now bank smoothly with it, instead of sitting flat where they meet the curve.

Improvements

• The 3D view's red-and-white racing kerbs now look like the real Carrera piece — bright, crisp, and true to color.

Improvements

• Track pieces now render with realistic dark asphalt and accurate markings in both the 2D and 3D planner — closer to how the real track looks in hand.

Improvements

• Invitation emails now come from a friendly Trackwright welcome address, so they're easier to spot and trust in your inbox.

Features

• You can now create your own Trackwright account and start planning right away — no invite needed (just verify your email when you're ready to save your work).

Features

• See what a layout will cost — an estimated price per piece and total in dollars, euros, or pounds — and jump straight to independent slot-car shops to order each part.

Features

• The catalog now has an "I own this" button — mark the sets and pieces you already have while browsing, and they flow straight into My Garage and your layouts' "still need to buy" lists.

Features

• Track the Carrera sets and pieces you already own in My Garage, and any layout's parts list will show what you still need to buy and what it costs to finish.

Fixes

• Fixed the planner falsely warning that pieces overlap on banked curves and crossings that are actually fine, while still catching real over-and-under clips.
• Fixed the 3D view so raised sections line up where they meet, and banked curves now sit down on their supports instead of floating above the track.

Features

• Raise sections of your track onto support stands and see them lifted in the 3D view, support posts and all — plus smoother joints between pieces.

Features

• Raising track just got a lot easier: set a piece to an exact height (with a heads-up when it's off Carrera's standard supports), or pick the top of a climb and **Auto-terrace** the whole section onto support stands in one click. You can also build over/under flyovers by raising a crossing onto supports, and curbs are easier to find and now fit curved lane-change pieces.

Improvements

• Pieces hanging off your table now show in their own orange, so they're easy to tell apart from pieces that just aren't connected to the track yet.

Fixes

• The planner now correctly flags when your track runs off the table and highlights the exact pieces hanging over the edge, instead of sometimes showing a false "fits" on L-shaped setups.

Features

• Build elevated flyovers — select a run of track and raise it onto supports; banked curves, ramps, and overpasses now render in full 3D.
• A built-in fix coach — when the planner spots a problem (overlapping pieces, a section left in the air, track with no power) it explains what is wrong and walks you through fixing it.
• What is New — this panel. A sidebar badge and a popup highlight new features and fixes so you do not miss them.

Improvements

• The planner command bar now adapts down to tablet screens, so every control stays reachable on smaller displays.
• High-banked curves now render the right way up in 3D, and the 3D view always matches the layout you opened.

Fixes

• Fixed banked curves meeting straights with a visible step in the track height.
• Fixed elevated sections that never came back down to the table — and the planner now flags them so you can.

Features

• See your track in 3D — view any layout as a real banked, elevated circuit, not just a flat diagram.
• Build pit lanes — drop in a complete pit lane with the right adapter pieces in a single click.
• High banks done right — proper Carrera Steilkurve banking, with the climb handled on the lead-in straights the way the real track works.
• Start from a preset — kick off from a ready-made layout (including the Race for Gold set) instead of a blank canvas.
• Guided fixes — when a layout won't close or power can't reach every piece, the planner walks you through sorting it out.
• Move and rotate single pieces freely — nudge or spin one piece without tearing down the run.
• Save and reopen your layouts — name them, save, and pick up right where you left off.

Improvements

• A cleaner command bar that shows issues and power status at a glance — and now works properly on tablets and smaller screens.
• More true-to-life piece rendering, right down to the Control Unit housing.
• Sign in with a passkey or add two-factor for a more secure account.

Fixes

• Big loops that wouldn't quite click shut now snap together cleanly.
• The planner header no longer gets crushed on narrow windows.
