Drag Drive Simulator guide: controls, wheelies and how to earn RP fast

This guide shows you the PC controls of Drag Drive Simulator, how to pull a wheelie without flipping over, and the steadiest ways to earn RP, the currency used for vehicles and upgrades. The tips come from guides dated August to October 2026. Some sites call the currency Cash instead of RP, so go by what your in-game balance says.

PC keybinds

• Drive: W, A, S, D (accelerate, steer, brake and reverse).
• Shift up: E. Shift down: Q.
• Handbrake: Shift.
• Headlights: L. Parking mode: P. Horn: H.
• Left signal: Z. Right signal: C. Hazards: X.
• First-person view: V.
• Wheelie on bikes only: T.
• Manual clutch mode: M toggles it.

You spawn vehicles by clicking the key icon on screen and choosing from the list, there is no keyboard shortcut. If a vehicle gets stuck, use the on-screen exit or respawn icon, and if you fall off a motorcycle, use the jump input to get back on.

Watch the RPM bar instead of the speedometer. Shift up just before the bar fills red to stay in the power band.

How to pull a wheelie (PC)

1. Hold W to build engine power.
2. Hold the clutch (Shift or Control, depending on your layout).
3. Shift into first gear with E or the Up Arrow.
4. Hold the lean-back input (T, S or the Down Arrow).
5. Release the clutch quickly while keeping throttle and lean-back held.

If the bike flips over backwards, release the clutch more smoothly, ease off the throttle or hold lean-back for a shorter time. If it will not lift, hold lean-back longer or check your power and torque upgrades.

An easier option on light vehicles is to get rolling, then press W and T together while speed builds. On mobile the idea is the same with on-screen buttons: throttle, clutch, first gear, lean-back, then release the clutch. Mobile cannot lock a wheelie.

For easier wheelies the guide suggests more torque, softer rear suspension and less weight on the front end. Practice on an open, empty road so you have room to recover.

How to earn RP

1. Highway farming: your earnings grow with your bike's top speed and how long you hold it. Equip the fastest bike you can afford and ride the long straights without braking or turning.
2. Sentul Circuit: in Tournament Drag Races the winner gets the largest share of the prize pool. Practice launches in free roam or Time Trial first, because a clean start decides most races.
3. Jobs: the four professions are Barista, Office Worker, Courier and Police Officer. They pay steadily and are good when you want a break from racing.
4. Extras: daily and weekly quests, the daily paycheck and hidden crates add bonuses. A 2X Paycheck gamepass exists, but it costs real money and you do not need it.

What to buy first

Start with a motorcycle, because bikes are cheaper and respond well to gear tuning. Balance horsepower with traction, and spend RP on tuning and upgrades to make your current bike competitive before you buy the next tier. Leave cosmetics for later.

Codes

Codes give large RP rewards. The developers usually release them in monthly batches, and they are case sensitive, so copy and paste. Open the shop (cart icon), choose the Redeem tab, paste, and press Redeem. See the Drag Drive Simulator codes page for the codes we confirmed.

Common mistakes

• Learning shifting during a tournament race instead of in free roam.
• Dropping the clutch too hard and flipping the bike.
• Braking on the highway while farming.
• Buying cosmetics before the bike is tuned.
