In any case, I never made the connection between my exit from the track and that of the other car. However, I remember not understanding certain exits from the track and perhaps this was due to this phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This phenomenon is called the \u00ab\u00a0whiplash effect\u00a0\u00bb on the forum. It would be due to the power supply which provides a certain amount of current and which following an exit from the track of a car finds itself with half as much current to deliver. The time to readjust to provide a single car, it delivers to the car alone a surplus of current. The car still on the track finds itself boosted by this electrical \u00ab\u00a0whiplash\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1194985447385685917lumaca_turbo_architetto__01.svg_.med_.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5923\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To avoid this, several solutions are mentioned on the forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is to use a stabilized power supply. A more sophisticated power supply than the one provided by Carrera in the GO boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second is to have a separate power supply per channel. This way you will not have any links between the two channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I invite you to read what an Artificial Intelligence told us about it in the article on power supply regarding the whiplash phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was produced following the following topic \u00ab\u00a0Avoiding whiplash\u00a0\u00bb (https:\/\/www.circuitsroutiers-gentlemendrivers.com\/t8508-Eviter-le-coup-de-fouet-lorsqu-une-voiture-sort.htm) on the Gentlemen drivers forum A sloter notes that when a Carrera GO car leaves the track, the second&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5924,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[194,192],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-en","category-tag_go-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6793"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6795,"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6793\/revisions\/6795"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
