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.
