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.

Road tests, city drives and racing in 3D. This is a game. It is not affiliated with any DMV or driving school and does not issue a license. ■ ROAD TEST (CITY) LEARNER'S PERMIT, CLASS C and ADVANCED: three scored routes each with live traffic, a spoken examiner and shareable pass certificates. ■ ROAD DRILLS Generated US road scenes explain critical errors and let you retry. Share a DRILL CLIP. HARBOR uses OpenStreetMap routes with fictional names. ■ HEADING TO JAPAN? Before a trip or move to Japan, practice keeping left in a right-hand-drive school car on a driving-school course and in MACHI, a Fukuoka-style town with Japanese signs, buses and level crossings. Take a provisional-license test (70 of 100 points to pass) with an English or Japanese examiner. Nine lessons come with the Driving Test plan. A game for getting used to the feel, not driving instruction or legal advice. ■ RACE THE CAR YOU PAINTED SHORT, LONG, GYMKHANA and RIDGEWAY 2K. Time attack, supported CPU races, ghosts and Game Center rankings. Climb from Class A to International. ■ QUICK MATCH Match with a random driver online: two people, approved names or a generated fallback, stock paint and no prizes. SHORT and LONG add four CPU drivers; other venues add none. One entry a day is free (resets 00:00 UTC); Multiplayer Host or All Access makes it unlimited. ■ SOLO CAR TAG Free offline CITY/MACHI/GYMKHANA Tag: you and up to 7 CPUs. CPUs cycle your car's shuffled class pool; keep yours. Caught runners become chasers. Escape earns 300 points plus seconds near opponents; catches/assists score. See overall rankings and winning TEAM MVP. Nets mark confirmed catches. Results and match videos name cars to help you choose. ■ CAR TAG & PRIVATE ROOMS Three-minute car Tag with a 10-second head start. Stop and repaint to hide. Race or Tag: 2–8 on Wi-Fi, 2–4 in Internet rooms by code. Host one game/UTC day per Apple account free across both, separate from Quick Match; guests join free. ■ PAINT EVERY CAR Free-hand paint with four brushes, zoom, undo and a 3D preview. Designs pass an online check before racing. ■ TWO TOWNS CITY: US-style streets, a freight train, car wash and parking garage. MACHI: Japanese streets and the hillside suburb of IKENODAI. ■ GARAGE 20 cars (8 added), all with refreshed designs, 148 parts and service items. Automatic or clutchless sequential shifting, DRIVER camera with mirrors, controller support, race digest videos. ■ INCLUDED, AND WHAT NEEDS A PLAN - Free drive, solo and CPU races, painting, joining a friend's room: included - Every day: one driving test (US and Japan combined, resets 00:00 UTC), one Road Drills episode, one online paint check, one Quick Match - Unlimited tests and Road Drills plus the nine Japanese lessons: Driving Test plan - Unlimited paint checks: Unlimited Paint plan - Unlimited private-room hosting and Quick Match: Multiplayer Host or All Access - All Access: every plan above plus Premium Driver Portraits - Premium Driver Portraits (8 portraits plus your approved photo): one-time ■ SUBSCRIPTIONS Driving Test (1 month, Family Sharing supported), Unlimited Paint, Multiplayer Host (1 month each) and All Access (1 month or 1 year), auto-renewing, in one group: one active plan at a time.
