I’ll try and answer your questions…
1. Yes, just via the Pace Car mode (ARC Pro and ARC Air only).
2. No, the features in the various modes are the same - the differences are the ways of running the race (eg, endurance = length of race is specified time, Grand Prix = length in laps etc). Where features are not available is with the entry level ARC One (uses the app as lap counter + pit stops). Yellow flag is not available in ARC Air or the analogue mode of ARC Pro.
3. Yes, simply to calculate mph. And yes, it’s only accurate if you can find a layout listed that’s the same length as yours.
4. The Magic app was developed for ARC Pro using the ARC communication protocols, so is 100% safe and compatible. The Magic app builds on the Scalextric version, giving more user-customisable features, but with a more complex format and less slick GUI. I’ve looked at it here: https://slotracer.online/community/showt...p?tid=2811
I usually advise using the Scalextric app to get to know the ARC system - warts n all - and then enjoy digging deeper into the Magic app’s features, if you need more. I’m sure you’ve probably found it, but there is a guide to getting the most out of the Scalextric ARC app here: https://slotracer.online/arc-pro-guide/index.php
Hope that helps
