Frequently asked questions
The game and availability
What is Clean Dirty Racing?
A racing simulator for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro, with seven cars in six racing classes, detailed setup, five tyre compounds and changing weather. Version 1.9 expands the catalog to nine circuits and adds an introductory race at Wreckers Bay.
Which cars and circuits are in the game?
The seven cars are Vesper GT3, Arden GT3, Formula Starter, Formula Elite, Sieber H1 Cup, Sieber DB and Nano Nightfall. Vesper and Arden share GT3; each other car has its own class, making six racing classes. The 1.9 catalog has nine circuits: Gravelines Circuit, Monteluce Circuit, Stursbraut Circuit, Valleyhill Circuit, Campofuori Circuit, Hoxton Circuit, Haussmann Circuit, Serra Alta Circuit, and Wreckers Bay Circuit. Version 1.9 introduces Serra Alta and Wreckers Bay. Vesper GT3 and Formula Starter are free at Gravelines; the other five cars and eight circuits require Full Access.
Can I create or join a team?
Yes. Create a team from Driver Profile, invite drivers or accept an invitation to join, and race in shared colours. Teams, Showcase and Leagues use an optional Online Driver License verified through Game Center. Solo racing does not require enrollment.
How do tyres and weather work?
Soft, medium and hard slicks have different grip, warm-up, temperature and wear behaviour. Intermediate and wet tyres are built for rising water. Conditions range from calm, breezy and gusty dry weather to light, steady and heavy rain; water changes grip, braking, tyre cooling and aquaplaning.
Which platforms does Clean Dirty Racing support?
Clean Dirty Racing is available now on Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro.
Is Clean Dirty Racing released?
Clean Dirty Racing is available on Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. Check the App Store for the latest version for your device.
Where can I download Clean Dirty Racing?
Download Clean Dirty Racing from the App Store for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro.
Does it require an account?
Solo play does not require Online Driver License enrollment. Optional Teams, Showcase and Leagues use an Online Driver License verified through Game Center. Purchases use your Apple Account.
How does multiplayer work?
Yes. Browse scheduled official series in Daily Races, join Open Rooms, or host a private session over a local network. After an Open Rooms race, meet other drivers in the car park, vote for the next circuit and prepare cars, tyres and fuel. Vote to skip practice or qualifying from the pause menu. Online racing in version 1.9 requires compatible 1.9 clients and rooms.
How do I get support?
Visit the public support page or email [email protected].
How does the first race work in version 1.9?
First-time players join the final lap at Wreckers Bay, learn the controls and chase the cars ahead. Pause at any time to restart or skip. This introductory race is available before purchasing Full Access; normal sessions at Wreckers Bay require Full Access. Introduced in version 1.9.
What happens after an Open Rooms race?
Meet other drivers in the post-race car park. Vote for the next circuit, change your car and prepare tyres and fuel before the next start. If everyone votes to skip the wait, the next session starts sooner. You can also vote to skip practice or qualifying from the pause menu.
Which controls and replay features does each platform support?
iPhone and iPad offer adjustable touch controls or a compatible game controller. Mac supports keyboard, compatible controllers and supported racing wheels, including the Logitech G29 with basic experimental force feedback. Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro require a compatible game controller. MP4 video export is available on Mac, iPhone and iPad, not Apple TV or Apple Vision Pro. Separate replay and Director Mode output windows are Mac features.
What changed in the garage in version 1.8?
Nano Nightfall is a hybrid supercar with battery boost, an active rear wing, its own cockpit and left- or right-hand-drive options. Sieber DB is a rear-wheel-drive eighties coupé. Both require Full Access. Arden GT3 also gained a dedicated racing interior with live instruments.
Controllers and driving controls
Can I use a Bluetooth gamepad or PS5 controller?
Yes. Bluetooth gamepads, including the PS5 DualSense controller, are supported across Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. Pair your controller with the device you play on, then race with it in the game.
Can I race on iPhone or iPad without a controller?
Yes. The iPhone and iPad apps include a virtual on-screen controller, so you can race using touch controls without a separate gamepad. You can also connect a Bluetooth gamepad if you prefer physical controls.
Does the Logitech G29 wheel support force feedback on Mac?
The macOS app supports the Logitech G29 steering wheel and pedals. Basic force feedback is available, but it is experimental at the moment and is still being refined.
Can I race on Mac with just a keyboard?
Yes. You can race in the macOS app using just a keyboard. A gamepad or steering wheel is optional.
Pricing and membership
What can I play for free?
The Vesper GT3 and Formula Starter, practice, race weekends and multiplayer at Gravelines are free, with no time limit. In version 1.9, the introductory final-lap race at Wreckers Bay is also available before purchasing Full Access. Normal Wreckers Bay sessions require Full Access. Saved recordings remain accessible after a subscription ends.
What are the pricing plans?
Full Access has monthly and annual subscriptions with the same access. Both renew automatically unless cancelled. Prices vary by region; open Settings → Full Access to see your current local price, billing period and eligible offers before confirming a purchase through Apple.
What does paid membership include?
Full Access unlocks Arden GT3, Formula Elite, Sieber H1 Cup, Sieber DB and Nano Nightfall, plus every circuit beyond Gravelines. The 1.9 catalog includes eight Full Access circuits, with Serra Alta and Wreckers Bay arriving in that update. Future track additions are included while subscribed. Vesper GT3 and Formula Starter remain free at Gravelines.
Is there a free trial?
An introductory free trial may be available to eligible subscribers. Apple determines eligibility, and the app shows the offer and renewal terms before purchase. Monthly and annual plans share the subscription group. After a trial, the selected subscription renews at the price shown unless cancelled.
How do I purchase or restore Full Access?
All purchases and subscription payments happen through Apple in-app purchases. Open Settings → Full Access in the game to choose a plan. Apple handles payment, billing and subscription management. To recover an existing membership, use Restore purchases with the Apple Account used to subscribe.
How do I change or cancel my plan?
Use the game’s subscription management option or your Apple Account’s Subscriptions settings to switch between Monthly and Annual or cancel renewal. Apple shows when a change takes effect. Cancelling a paid plan keeps access until the current paid period ends; after it expires, Gravelines remains free.
How do I request a refund?
All game purchases are made through Apple in-app purchases, so refund requests go through Apple. Sign in to reportaproblem.apple.com with the Apple Account used to purchase and select Request a refund. Apple reviews eligibility under its terms and your country or region’s rules; approval is not guaranteed. Your applicable consumer rights remain unchanged.

The simulation
Does driving style affect tyre life?
Yes. Each tyre wears individually based on how much it slides, its load and speed. Overheating accelerates wear, and grip falls more sharply as a tyre approaches the end of its life.
Do tyres need warming up?
Yes. Tyre surface and core temperatures are simulated separately. The surface reacts quickly to sliding and cooling, while the core warms more slowly. Compound choice changes warm-up behaviour and the working temperature range.
How does the game model grip?
Each tyre shares its available grip between braking, acceleration and cornering. Asking for too much at once changes how the car responds, so brake release and throttle application matter through a corner.
Does suspension setup change the handling?
Yes. Springs, dampers, anti-roll bars and bump stops affect how the car responds to bumps, kerbs and weight transfer. Setup changes influence tyre loading and the car’s balance under braking and through corners.
What changes when it rains?
Track wetness builds and dries over time, affecting grip, braking and tyre cooling. Aquaplaning becomes more significant with speed and water, while slicks, intermediates and wets respond differently to the conditions.
Are slipstreaming and dirty air simulated?
Yes. Following another car can reduce drag on the straights, but disturbed air also reduces downforce. The effect changes with distance and position, creating a trade-off between gaining a tow and retaining cornering grip.
Watch, replay and create
Can I watch a server session without driving?
Yes. Choose Watch on a compatible server to join as a spectator without taking a driving seat. Follow the field and choose your camera. Watch depends on the server’s spectator settings, available capacity and your access to its circuit.
Can I turn recorded sessions into videos?
On Mac, iPhone and iPad, open a recorded session in Replay Studio, choose cars and cameras, trim a clip and save camera cuts and playback speeds. Export an MP4 at up to 4K with game audio. Available views and audio depend on the recording. Video export is not available on Apple TV or Apple Vision Pro.
What is Director Mode?
On Mac, Director Mode gives Watch and Replay Studio a clean output window, with camera controls kept separate from the picture. Use it to produce race videos or capture a live broadcast in software such as OBS. While watching live, prepare a shot in Preview, then cut it to On air.
