to race and to demolition. The objective is to destroy or "wreck" the other competitors while racing, for which points are earned, in addition to points earned from racing.
In nearly every race, there are 19 competitors, although some races have 15 competitors.
Points are earned according to race placement, with the winner gaining 1000 points, first runner up earns 900 points, and so on. No race points are earned if the player finishes outside 9th place.
In every race, there is a 'required points' section. This means that in every race, there is a require points. Only those players earning more than the required number of points in a race passes the stage.
. The objective is to collect money by winning races and then use that prize money to upgrade better, faster cars in order to win more advanced cars with which to race.
Race cars must be purchased. To begin with, not all vehicles are immediately affordable; race success will win rewards with which players can start buying more powerful vehicles. The races are divided into different skill levels and different types of cars; with the harder races carrying higher the prize money.
Once a new Championship begins, you need to equip your garage with a car. During the championship, the player can adopt a strategy of adding more cars to his/her garage with the prospect of upgrading each car differently. He/she can then select a car most suitable for the next race. The cost of a car will be directly proportional to its performance
and every car that can be bought will have performance commensurate with price. To join a race, you'll need to select a car that meets the minimum requirement of having all damage cars repaired.
The game ends when the player's cars are all destroyed and has insufficient money to purchase another racer.

The aim is to prevent the other CPU cars from attacking your team mate, while simultaneously trying to slow down your opponents' Hummer. Extra points are earned when a player helps his/her partner to retain a high race position for a period of time (5-second multiples): 40 points for every 5 seconds in first place; 30 points for second; 20 for third, and 10 for fourth.
The Hummers are difficult to manoeuvre, and their speed may be difficult to control. Players may resort to head-on collisions, but these will cause damage to vehicles; if a car is destroyed, a player will no longer be able to help his/her team-mate.
