## What is Drag Racing Companion?

Turn your iPhone into a responsive second-screen controller for Drag Racing 3D on your Mac. Scan the pairing code shown in the desktop game, allow local network access, and steer, accelerate, brake, shift gears, switch cameras, recover the car, and explore from a landscape two-thumb interface.

The connection stays on your local Wi-Fi. No account, cloud relay, ads, tracking, or analytics are required.

Features:
• Fast App Clip launch from a pairing code
• Full companion app with a built-in QR scanner
• Context-aware driving and on-foot control decks
• Responsive steering, throttle, braking, look, and gear controls
• Camera and vehicle recovery actions
• Direct local-network connection
• Clearly labeled offline demo for trying the controls

The latest Drag Racing 3D desktop update adds free driving, a guided sightseeing introduction, branching road puzzles, bump and arch bridges, steel-truss bridges, and expanded tollgate plazas. The companion keeps the controls close while you race or explore.

Drag Racing Companion requires the Drag Racing 3D desktop game. The iPhone and computer must be on the same local network.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-12

This update brings the latest DragRacingKit controller improvements to the phone companion, alongside the newest Drag Racing 3D desktop features.

New
• Use a context-aware control deck that keeps driving and on-foot actions matched to the desktop game.
• Tap the look surface to use the action under the crosshair, drag to look around, or press and hold to look up and down.
• Enter and leave the demo car with clearer transitions, while paused and resumed gestures stay predictable.
• Launch free driving, follow a sightseeing introduction with a live route map, and explore branching roads, bridges, and expanded tollgate plazas in the desktop game.

Improved
• Mirrored control layouts keep the directional deck and look surface in the right relationship.
• Context changes neutralize held controls safely instead of carrying an old action into a new mode.
• Steering, speed feedback, camera changes, and magnetic recovery remain responsive while paired over local Wi-Fi.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-04

Drive and explore with controls that fit what you’re doing. This update gives your phone controller a clearer, more natural flow for getting behind the wheel, stepping out, and looking around the track.

New
• Use dedicated on-foot movement and look controls while exploring.
• Enter a nearby vehicle and switch immediately to the driving deck.

Improved
• Try the full controller in a guided demo with clear on-screen hints.
• Steering and on-foot turning respond more predictably, making small corrections easier.
