How it plays

How does Destruction Derby play?

Races take place on closed circuits, while demolition events use enclosed arenas. The objective varies between finishing ahead of rivals and earning success through damaging or outlasting them.

Players steer, accelerate, brake, and position their cars to avoid or deliver impacts. Damage affects the vehicle during an event, so reckless contact can reduce performance or end a run. Progression is based on completing the available events rather than on character development.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Destruction Derby?

Learn the track layouts before attempting aggressive overtakes. In circuit races, preserve speed through corners and use safer lines instead of repeatedly trading paint.

In demolition events, attack vulnerable angles such as the rear or side of a rival, then keep moving to avoid being surrounded. Protecting your own damaged areas is often more useful than chasing every collision.
