The same developer did a couple of similar sort of games didn't they (which I can't remember the names of), in the same vein as Destruction Derby games? I had both of those, they were good fun for a bit but just didn't hold my attention the way the DD games did on the original Playstation. This one does look better and I kept meaning to pick it up on early access but fear of a third disappointment sort of put me off a bit.
Anyone able to compare these to the ones I'm talking about but can't remember the names of?

This ones a bit more racey? Cars are like a cross between bangers and budget rallycross.
After getting it when it was 25% off, I got round to installing it this weekend and had a go last night. I like it a lot, and there's a bunch of add ons in the Steam workshop for it. I think there will be a bit of grinding at first to open it up and get a few cars in the garage, but there's a lot of potential for silliness once I've got further into the game.

Yep, get out of the first championship and level up a bit and you unlock a fair bit.Sporky said:
I've had it on PC for a couple of months I think - great fun, especially as that's how I drive in every racing game, only in Wreckfest it doesn't feel like cheating...
Latest update (last night) has absolutely f
ked the game though. Completely changed the driving and damage model, it's absolutely abysmal now.
Its baffling what they have done.
Just an example of the hilarity going on right now:
