Racing - The goal is to complete the required number of laps (shown by the number on the starting spot) before your opponent does.
Destruction - The goal is still to complete the required number of laps before your opponent does, but you may now more actively interfere with his progress.
In Destruction contests, vehicles may carry armor to increase their durability and crusher capability to increase the damage they can do by running into others.

 Destruction Derby Arenas Hands-on Impressions - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
Destruction Derby also featured a number of "destruction bowls" in which your only goal was to destroy other cars while sustaining as little damage as possible.
Destruction Derby 2 and Destruction Derby Raw, which were released in 1996 and 2000 respectively, both followed the same formula.
Destruction bowls appear to be far more popular with European players than the wrecking racing events (at the moment), but on the few occasions that we set up our own wrecking racing event, it didn't take long for a decent number of players to join in.

Just when it looked as if the computer racing game was running out of steam (or should that be fuel?), Ariolasoft have seen fit to release a new innovation in the form of Electronic Arts' Racing Destruction Set.
The race can take place over any number of laps between one and nine with one of four different landscapes in the background - racing (lots of flags and things), motox (tyres, flags etc), abstract (lots of op-an type lines) and lunar (moon craters and the like).
This is a superlative race game and with the two player head-to-head and track design it makes it a program you just can't afford to pass.

A good tip for beginners is to watch the computer race through the track and see where he succeeds and fails at various types of jumps.
Otherwise, many races come down to who can hold the joystick in a forward position for the longest instead of the hypnotic skill contest a good stunt race is.
There is also no long- term objective (no racing seasons or levels), restricting it to being only a construction kit program instead of a typical arcade game (this is either good or bad depending on how you like to play your games).

 8-Bit Product Reviews: P:R: Connection, Write 80, Racing Destruction Set, Fooblitzky, Artist Unleashed, Layout
The control scheme for RDS is pretty standard for racing games, with joystick movement sending the car in a direction based on the driver's frame of reference-that is, if the car is moving down on the screen, pushing the joystick right will move the car left.
The cars are not well detailed, and during a race your car can get so close to the end of the visible section of track that you can't correct for track conditions in time to avoid a wreck.
I felt that the border set, used with the manual's examples, was the most attractive feature of this package-it embellishes your creations with professional-looking results.

 NASCAR 2005 ~ Could Veteran Strategy Change The Face of The Chase?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Chase format was more or less an unknown entity and since consistency had always been the best way to set yourself up for a run at the Cup, few changed their method for insuring the best year-end finish.
Even so, this won’t stop those drivers, who chaffed so at being left out of the limelight that those top ten drivers basked in during the final ten races of last season, from doing their utmost to finish as high as possible not only at Daytona but all of the early races in 2005.
While this move hasn’t set well with most, I can’t help but wonder if the request didn’t come from the drivers, who by the end of most races only have one nerve left, merely to have it decimated by Mr.

 Test Drive: Eve of Destruction :: PlayStation 2 :: Review :: DreamStation.cc
In the figure 8 races for example, you can go from first to last just from hitting the intersection and being nailed one time, and not being able to get back on the track in the right direction.
Since these races are one after another, it’s pretty important that car damage carries over, which is pretty neat as you have to avoid wrecking your car in the first event.
All the race locations are also the same style, so you don’t ever feel like you are actually moving up to bigger events.

There was a brilliant racing game that you could make your own tracks for.
It had a sort of 3d isometric view, so tracks could have lots of slopes and there were different types of track, like tarmac, dirt, and ice.
I still remember my little brother throwing down the joystick and running out of the room crying when he was inches away from beating me only to hit a landmine I had left right before the finish line.

 Kikizo Games: PS2 Review: Destruction Derby Arenas
The first of these, Wrecking Racing, sees players engaged in circuit-based racing in which the primary objective is to finish with as high a placing as possible, while at the same time causing as much damage to opponents and the track as possible.
Wrecking Racing is by far the more enjoyable of the two disciplines, for no other reason than it actually demands a modicum of skill in order to excel.
Destruction Derby Arenas is destined for the bargain bin in the near future, so if you simply must have it (though we'd be at a loss to see why) you'd be best advised to wait until then.

So solid is the surface of the Dover Downs International Speedway that it is a magnet for the hot temperatures that seem to permeate the atmosphere of the surrounding area in early June.
Compounding the direness of the track surface at Dover is the gritty horse racing track that is set within the one-mile concrete track.
The shifting of the winds and the cars whipping around the one-mile track mean that large sums of the horse track surface wind up on the racing surface and has become embedded in the concrete throughout the years of the track's history.

Kyle Medina was the one to beat in the modified bombers, and in regular season action he set fast time 14 times and captured 11 out of 14 feature events.
A record number of 25 boats were in the pits for the September event with 23 taking the green flag, and it was the team of Don Presler and Richie Schramm who dazzled the crowd with their marine-style gymnastics.
The Pro-4 modifieds enjoyed seven points races at Lakeport and 2005 champ Ken Gifford won five, Chris Straka won one and the other was rained out.

 Test Drive: Eve of Destruction (xbx: 2004): Reviews
Eve of Destruction has all the twisted metal action fans of vehicular carnage will love, but its repetitious races and awkward controls just hold back what could have been a great demolition derby game.
Some sluggish racing gameplay and a lack of any real depth beyond the game's offline multiplayer component and slightly taxing career mode mar the experience enough to prevent Eve of Destruction from living up to its potential.
So, while Test Drive: Eve Of Destruction has an almost absurd number of car crashing event variations and lots of vehicles to use, it is not going to be a cross-over hit with players that are not already predisposed to liking demolition derby driving games.

The fact that there's a lot more to do than racing a kart makes me want to recommend this as a rental to all gamers but it just might be a case of this game exceeding my original lowered expectations.

For a racing game, the platforming elements are extremely well done and capture the Crash Bandicoot school of platforming to a tee.
