6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of an electronic racing device according to an embodiment.

In step S600, the electronic racing device can photograph the running image of the first remote control car running on the track installed at the predetermined position by the image photographing device attached to the first remote control car.

In step S610, the electronic racing device can determine the running information of the first remote control car based on the photographed running image.

In step S620, the electronic racing device can determine the virtual course of the second remote control car based on the determined driving information.

According to one embodiment, the electronic racing device maps a course background selected by a user input among a plurality of course backgrounds to a running image of a remote control car photographed using a video photographing device attached to a first remote control car The virtual course of the second remote control car can be determined. For example, a camera is attached to a remote control car, and an electronic racing device can store course information about a racing track photographed using a camera attached to a remote control car, and the course itself is changed Information such as background, road surface condition, or weather can be changed using a previously stored course background.

In step S630, the electronic racing device may display the determined virtual course and the second remote control car on the display unit.

In step S640, the electronic racing device may control the second remote control car to travel on the virtual course displayed on the display unit.
