About

CREST

Read full description

Every lap is a fight against the clock and against everyone else who drove it today. CREST is an open-wheel racing sim built for phones. Real circuit layouts, tyre wear, fuel loads, pit strategy and a career that remembers what you did last season. RIVALS — ONE LAP, EVERY DAY A new circuit each day. Same car for everyone, no assists, one flying lap. Set your time, then chase the ghosts of real drivers above you on the board. Daily, national and season standings. 1 VS 1 — RACE A FRIEND, LIVE Open a room, share a four-digit code and race head to head, each on your own screen. The same physics on both phones, lap for lap. CAREER Sign with a team that will have you and climb by being quicker than the car deserves. Contracts, reputation, team politics, car development — and your own ratings: pace, consistency and racecraft grow with what you do on track, and the front of the grid signs on them. A newspaper reports on your season whether you like what it says or not. RACE WEEKEND Practice, qualifying and race. Manage tyres, fuel and the electric override. Read the flags, take the undercut, defend the position. MAKE IT YOURS Liveries, helmets, SPECIAL cars and a car you design yourself, colour by colour, with your name on the rear wing. Arrange the touch controls exactly where your thumbs want them. Everything you can buy is a look or a door — never speed. ALSO INSIDE · Quick Race — any team, any circuit, straight in · Time Trial — empty track, soft tyres, perfect lap · Championship — a full season, points to the end · Daily login — come back each day and paint a car a seventh at a time BUILT FOR MOBILE Touch controls designed for a phone held in landscape. Runs on older hardware. Nine languages. Play as a guest or sign in to keep your name on the board. Free to play. Optional one-time purchases: CARBON, the in-game currency, and passes. Rewarded videos play only when you choose to watch one — nothing interrupts a race.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CREST at none against Torque Drift's 11. CREST also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Torque Drift's advantage is chart position (#164 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
