Winning or placing in these events earns the player money which can then be spent on entry fees to other events and also can be used to purchase new vehicles.There are several vehicles to choose from such as the Land Raider and Wrecker and each vehicle comes with four different paint jobs options, Completing events in the Career Mode unlocks vehicles, map terrain types, and race types for use in Quick Race mode. In Quick Race mode, players are free to pick a map, race type, and vehicle of their choosing. It also introduces a Free Roam mode where the player can just drive around in a non competitive format.
