Wreck

A wreck is when a vehicle crashes into something at high speed and becomes disabled for a few seconds. In Asphalt 8: Airborne, some Career mode events discourage wrecking, in the form of a bonus star for either: Knockdowns without Wreck or No Wrecks. In some cases, landing on a certain part of the track can wreck the player's vehicle, even if they did not crash into something. Also, a glitch may cause the player's vehicle to wreck randomly. Finally, even after the race, the player's vehicle (now controlled by AI) may occasionally wreck.

The player can wreck other racers by performing a Knockdown on them.

Types of Wrecks

 * Wreck : the most common type of wreck. This type of wreck is seen throughout the entire Asphalt series.
 * Knockdown : only available in multiplayer; this occurs when the player is knocked down by another player.
 * Disqualified : when the player becomes disqualified after failing to finish the race.
 * Eliminated : when the player becomes eliminated at last place.
 * Infection Overload : available only in the Infected mode of Asphalt 8. This occurs when the player has been infected for too long, and later becomes cured.
