The short answer

The closest alternative to the TAG Heuer Carrera is the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph ($24,250) — shared caliber (TH20-00) and Same family (Carrera). If price is the constraint, the TAG Heuer Carrera at $6,550 (vs $24,400 for the Carrera) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Omologato Classic Timer is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 42mm ($36,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
