NoGrip is a real-time open-wheel race strategy game. You don't drive the car — you call the shots from the pit wall. Build your own team, choose two drivers, and guide them through every lap. Read tire wear, manage the gap to the car ahead, and decide exactly when to pit and which compound to fit. Every decision plays out live on track. KEY FEATURES • Command two drivers independently — set each one's pace (Push, Normal, Conserve) and call their pit stops separately. • Real tire strategy — Soft, Medium, and Hard compounds, each with its own pace and wear. Tires lose grip as they degrade, just like the real thing. Run at least two compounds or face disqualification. • Live pit-stop drama — call your driver in, pick the tire, and watch the stop unfold through every phase. • Strategy that matters — corner speed, dirty air behind rivals, getting stuck behind slower cars, and overtakes all play out in real time. • Five AI personalities — Aggressive, Balanced, Strategic, Defensive, and Wild rivals each race differently, so no two races feel the same. • Build your team — pick driver abilities, faces, and nationalities, and name your No.1. • Watch it at your pace — 1x, 2x, or 4x race speed. • Original soundtrack and sound effects, with full volume control. Optimized for both iPhone and iPad. English and Japanese supported.
