Demolition Derby and Crash Games

The engine sits at the front of most derby cars and the games model that, so a front impact damages you as much as your target. Reversing into a rival puts the strong rear end into the hit and keeps your engine alive longer.

Usually when every other car has stopped moving or a timer expires with you as the least damaged. Staying at the edge of the arena early, letting others trade hits, is a common way to survive the opening minute.

They are close relatives. Banger racing keeps a race line and a finish, with contact allowed and encouraged, while a pure derby drops the racing entirely and scores survival in an arena.

Most of these are arcade titles with deformable bodywork and exaggerated impacts rather than accurate simulation. Damage is shown on vehicles only, and each game page describes the style before you press play.
