Overview
A knockdown is when the player attacks an opponent's vehicle and causes it to wreck.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
Knockdowns become a more vital gameplay element due to the return of the bonus stars system. There are various knockdown types:
 * A regular knockdown
 * Leader Knockdown
 * Drifting Knockdown
 * Sandwich Knockdown
 * Air Knockdown
 * Barrel Knockdown

It is worth noting that Traffic Knockdowns are known as Traffic Down in-game. Therefore, they do not count as knockdowns because they do not involve AI racers, but AI traffic.
