It requires the presence of the core title to access its new features and gameplay loops.
Core Expansion Focus: Demolition Racing

new vehicles specifically designed for these racing scenarios. Furthermore, the expansion features a dedicated series of
new game modes centered around racing and track performance.
How Does This Expansion Change the Gameplay Loop?
While the foundational mechanics of planning, executing, and destroying remain, this DLC layers a new strategic challenge on top: competitive motorsport. Success in these new modes is tied to winning championships against rival drivers. This requires mastering vehicle handling under pressure while utilizing the environment for tactical advantage or destruction, directly impacting the player's ability to expand their car collection.
Integration with the Base Game

Winning championships is the key progression system within this expansion, directly rewarding players with access to more specialized vehicles for future races.
