You can usually tell because the sides and/or leading edge of the chassis and/or leading edge of the motor pod will have some black rubbery stuff on it. One side of the chassis will usually have it over the other depending on what way round you run around the track (clockwise or anti-clockwise). Just wipe it off using a rag and some petrol lighter fluid or brake cleaner.
