Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 1.3: a daily challenge streak, an optional 6pm reminder, and driving tips for your first race. Twenty cars, five circuits, no ads.
Twenty cars. One braking point. Who blinks first?
Downforce is a top-down arcade racer for quick, fierce races. Line up on a full 20-car grid, draft down the straights, fire your boost and fight your way to the front across five classic circuits.
RACE MODES
• Race: take on up to 19 AI rivals over one to five laps
• Time Trial: chase your own ghost and shave off every tenth
• Hot Seat: pass the phone between 2–4 drivers for local bragging rights
FEEL THE DRIVE
• Two-thumb controls: slide to steer, hold to accelerate, flick up to boost
• Drafting, tyre smoke, skid marks, sparks and collision damage
• A recurring named rival who keeps score of every meeting
FIVE CIRCUITS
Monza, Silverstone, Suzuka, Spa and Monaco. Fast sweepers, technical esses and a tight street circuit along the harbour, each with its own racing line to learn.
COME BACK EVERY DAY
• A new daily challenge with a coin reward
• Keep your streak alive day after day
• Optional reminder at 6pm, off unless you turn it on
BUILD YOUR CAR
Spend prize money in the Garage on engine, gearbox and tyre upgrades, then pick your livery colours and pattern.
FAIR BY DESIGN
No ads, no account, no tracking, and it plays fully offline. Every circuit and Hard difficulty can be earned just by racing. A single optional purchase, Full Access, unlocks them all straight away and adds Hot Seat multiplayer. No subscription.
Daily streaks: complete the daily challenge on consecutive days to build a streak, shown on the main menu.
Daily reminder: turn on an optional 6pm notification in Settings that tells you the day's challenge. It skips days you've already done it.
Driving tips: your first race opens with a quick guide to steering, throttle, boost and drafting. You can bring it back from Settings.
Full Access is now easy to find: it has its own section at the top of Settings, along with Restore Purchases.
You'll now be asked for a rating after a great race. It only happens rarely, and only after a few races.
Bigger text: menus now follow your iPhone text size setting.
