Manual Car: Stick Shift Drag

Launch on the clutch, catch the bite point, shift on the light. Dump it at low rpm and the engine stalls on the line.
After every race you see exactly where you lost time: which shift, how many rpm, how many tenths.

REAL CLUTCH PHYSICS
• An analog clutch slider with a real bite point. Release too fast at low rpm and you stall; too many rpm and the tires spin.
• Hold the launch rpm in the green band, then feed the clutch in. The right window gives the best 60 ft time.
• A drag-and-seat H-pattern shifter. Shift without the clutch and the gears grind and the lever bounces back.
• Drop into too low a gear at speed and you over-rev the engine and take damage.
• A 10-LED shift light flashes at the optimum shift point.
• Every car runs on the same deterministic drivetrain model: engine torque, clutch, gearbox, tires and weight.

SHIFT ANALYSIS AFTER EVERY RACE
• Every shift next to the optimum, for example "2→3 · 340 rpm early · −0.18 s".
• An rpm-over-time chart with your run, the optimum run and the zones where you lost time.
• Launch rpm, clutch release time, 60 ft and reaction time.
• One concrete tip from your biggest loss, like "Launch 600 rpm higher".
• Your run as a percentage of the optimum.

CAREER: 40 RIVALS
• 5 leagues with 8 rivals each. The 8th rival of every league is a boss.
• 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile, standing starts and rolling starts (from 60 km/h in 3rd gear).
• Sportsman and Pro start trees. Leave before the green and it is a red light.
• Rival shift plans are built by simulation with the same physics you drive.

GARAGE
• 5 generic cars: a compact I4 hatchback, a turbo sedan, a V6 coupe, a V8 muscle car and a turbo-diesel pickup. FWD and RWD, up to 6 gears.
• Upgrade engine, turbo, clutch, gearbox, tires and weight, 5 levels each.
• Tune the final drive and every gear ratio (from League 2).
• Pull a dyno chart of your build.
• Paints, wheels and spoilers. Cosmetics are visual only.

EVERY DAY
• Track of the Day: a new rule set every day (distance, start, tree, wind, wet or dry, gear limits) with bronze, silver and gold target times for your car, 3 tries a day and a streak that drops by one on a missed day instead of resetting.
• Race your own ghost: your best run for each car and track.
• 15 mastery medals, plus a Realistic badge for beating a boss with no assist bands.
• Free practice on any unlocked track.

LEARN IT YOUR WAY
• A short hands-on tutorial teaches the launch and the shift step by step.
• School assist shows the bite band and the launch band. Realistic hides them.
• A haptic tick at the bite point (can be turned off). km/h or mph.

FAIR ADS
• No banner ads. Never an ad during a race, while staging, in the tutorial or when the app opens.
• A full-screen ad can only appear when you leave the result screen, at most once every 3 races.
• Rewarded videos are always optional: double coins, boss damage repair, an extra daily try.
• The one-time "No Ads" purchase turns off every ad; rewarded bonuses become free.
• No loot boxes.

Single-player, no account needed. All cars are fictional, generic designs.
