Takes place on a variety of circuits where drivers are awarded points for damaging other cars while racing to complete a fixed number of laps. Stock Car Racing
Quite simply, a piece of classic circuit racing. It's a flat out race to the finish with no points awarded for smashing other drivers. Of course, those other drivers like Skum, Master and The Undertaker may have something to say about that. Destruction Derby
Not for those with a nervous disposition, Destruction Derby is total car carnage. Race around one of the four bowl tracks with the aim being to inflict as much damage as possible on your opponent's vehicles. Race Type Menu
Choose between Championship, Race Practice, Time Trials and Multi Player options.
Championship

When you are happy with the name entered move the highlighting effect over "END", press the X button and you will return to the Main Menu.
Select "GO" from this menu and you will shortly be pitting your wits against The Bouncer and the rest of the Destruction Derby crew.
