Wreckfest: Car Customisation
Classes
In Wreckfest, there are different classes which cars can be modified to. These are often determined by their Performance Points, or PP. Certain cars are at a certain class when first acquired, but can be modified to suit any class:
99 PP and below The lowest performance class in the game. Mostly reserved for special vehicles.
100 - 164 PP
165 - 234 PP
235+ PP The highest level class in the game.
Performance Upgrades
These ranks range from Sunday Driver (Level 1) to Crash Champion (Level 100). Experience Points are earned after each race. Higher difficulties earns more Points. You can earn more Experience Points in an event by:
<> Increasing the AI difficulty
<> Turning off Driving Assists
<> Changing Driving Transmission to Manual
<> Damaging Opponents and Scoring Takedowns
<> Driving the Fastest Lap
<> Scoring the most Points in Demolition Derbies
<> Setting Damage to Realistic
Armor and Visual Upgrades
Armor
Armor parts affect your car's overall strength, and are crucial for demolition derby events. They can also make your car extremely heavy, and even reduces the car's PP. An A-Class car with full racing parts can be reduced to B-Class if equipped with the strongest parts. But having heavier parts means harder hits! But choose parts wisely, for some weaker parts have better defense than stronger parts.
Armor parts are divided into five categories:
Visual
Visual parts are purely aesthetic. They have no effect on the car other than its looks. Visual parts include: Wheels, Spoilers, Fenders, Grilles, Hoods, Exhausts, and assorted Decorations.
See below some examples of customised cars:
Tuning
Tuning
As well as changing parts on your car, your car can be tuned to better suit track and arena conditions. There are four different setups that can be tuned:
Gear Ratio affects your car's speed and acceleration. Short gear ratios provide better acceleration, and Long gear ratios provide greater top speed.
Differential affects the drive and rotation of the wheels. Open allows all wheels to turn independently regardless of speed. Limited offers more drive to the wheels with the most traction. Locked combines the drive wheels on the same axle, allowing better high-speed turns while sacrificing normal maneouvrability.
Brake Balance affects how your car stops. Rear Bias provides greater braking efficiency, but causes the back end to slide out. Front Bias provides greater braking stability, but causes understeer.

Performance Index
This section is the Performance Index. This shows the ranges of PP points that each car available can be equipped with.
NOTE: As it is possible to change PP by equipping/removing armor and parts for different ranges, this list will follow a set criteria:
(1) All cars will use Full Roll Cages unless stated otherwise
(2) Any front/rear bumpers originally equipped on car will be used unless stated otherwise
(3) No side/window armor will be used
(4) Range from Low (Low-Tier Engine + Stock Parts) to High (High-Tier Engine + Race Parts)
Final word
With a variety of cars and parts available in the full game, there is no limit to how you want to customise your machines. Some will be more suited to being fast on the track, while others may be best suited to crashing hard in demolition derbies. And maybe some even in between. Experiment with each car, customise it how you want and test them out. And don't be afraid to get a little dirty with the competition.
Happy Wrecking!!!
