Wreckfest

Wreckfest is a car-racing game built around collisions and vehicle damage. Drive worn and customized cars in the role of a racer competing in both conventional track events and demolition derbies. Race on circuits, dirt tracks, ovals and figure-eight courses, or battle opponents in derby arenas. Some events use unusual vehicles such as lawn mowers and buses, and customizable events let you choose race modes, tracks and settings. In career mode, compete in championships to earn experience and unlock cars and upgrades. Engine parts can improve performance, while armor adds protection at the cost of weight and handling; you can also adjust vehicle setups and appearance.

Race battered cars through contact-heavy circuits and demolition derbies, managing damage while upgrading vehicles for each event.
