Remember the trigger in your hand?
If you ever knelt beside a slot car table with a controller in your hand, you remember what racing feels like: one trigger, a car that wants to fly off the track, and the half-second where you lift just in time.
Now it's in your pocket.
■ The one control that matters
You find the limit.
In THROTTLE the slot guides the car, exactly like a real set. You get the throttle, and it reads every millimeter of your thumb. Carry a hair too much speed into a bend and the car leaves the slot and tumbles off the table. Lift a heartbeat early and you give away a tenth. Find the moment in between, and the lap is yours.
One lap to learn. A lifetime to master.
No autopilot. No rubber-banding. No assists winning the race for you.
■ Ghost racing
GAP −0.08 TO YOUR GHOST
Your fastest self is already on the grid.
Every best lap you drive becomes a ghost, and it drives exactly the way you did: every squeeze, every lift. Beat it and the ghost gets faster, because now it's you. Up to three rivals share the table, the live standings show every gap, and you always know where the next tenth is hiding.
Change lanes like a real set
Tap CHANGE LANE and you swap slots at the next crossover.
Take the pit
Tracks with a pit lane give you a PIT button. The car finds its own way in.
Watch it your way
Chase cam, trackside cameras, or the whole table from above.
Races are short. Stopping at one is the hard part.
■ Seven tables, fourteen layouts
Built like a real table. Raced like one.
A banked speedway oval. An industrial foundry. Riverside esses. A desert mesa with a figure-eight crossover. An iron bridge over the village. A helix dropping into an alpine canyon. A corkscrew above a fjord. Every track runs in reverse too, so that's fourteen layouts. Every one of them is free.
Banking. Bridges. Crossovers. Nowhere to hide.
■ Free to play. Actually free.
Download it. Race in seconds.
No sign-up. No account. No email. Open THROTTLE and you're on the track. Every track is yours from the first lap: all seven, in both directions. No energy bar telling you to come back tomorrow. No ads between races. No catch.
The only upgrade is you.
There are no engine upgrades, no better tires, no boosts, and nothing in THROTTLE you can buy that makes a car faster. Every car runs on the same physics. Your lap time is limited by one thing: your skill. When someone beats you, they drove better. When you beat them, you did.

■ The garage
Make it yours.
Twelve cars. Any color you can imagine. Built your way, down to the wheels.
Every racer has a car in their head: the one they'd build if nobody ever told them no. The Garage is where you build it.
Pick the body that says who you are. Paint it any color, live, and watch the light run across every panel. Choose the livery. Match the wheels. Keep going until it's exactly right, then take it out on the table where every rival can see it.
Nobody else's car will look like yours. That's the point.

■ Questions
Before your first lap
What is THROTTLE?
THROTTLE is a slot car racing game for iPhone, iPad and Android. You control only the throttle; the slot steers the car. The skill is knowing when to squeeze and when to lift.
Is THROTTLE free?
Yes. Every track and the Fullbore '68 are free to play. One optional $9.99 purchase unlocks every cosmetic item.
Can you pay to win in THROTTLE?
No. Every purchase changes only how a car looks. Every car races on identical physics.
Does THROTTLE have ads?
No. THROTTLE has no ads, no loot boxes, no energy timers and no subscription.
How do you steer in a slot car game?
You don't. The slot in the track guides the car, as on a real slot car set. You control speed with the throttle, and too much speed in a corner throws the car off the track.
How many tracks and cars does THROTTLE have?
THROTTLE has seven tracks, each raceable in both directions, for fourteen layouts. It has twelve cars to collect and repaint.
Who do you race against?
You race your own ghost, our pace laps and up to three rivals on the table. Your ghost replays your best lap exactly as you drove it.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, and THROTTLE never asks for your name or email. See the Privacy Policy.
