Wrecking is also prohibited in Hunted races in Asphalt 9: Legends, as it would be considered the same as being busted. This is noted by the fact that Flawless is described as: “A Classic race with a twist: No wrecks allowed!”. In Flawless races, wrecking is absolutely discouraged and will immediately result in disqualification, even if the player goes off the map. However, it does not invalidate the "No Wrecks" sub-goal, except in a Flawless race, as below. Going off the map counts as a wreck and can count against the "Perfect Race" and "1 Perfect Lap" medals. Finally, even after the race, the player's vehicle (now controlled by AI) may occasionally wreck. Also, a glitch may cause the player's vehicle to wreck randomly. 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. In Asphalt 8: Airborne, Asphalt Nitro, and Asphalt Xtreme, many of the Career Mode also events discourage wrecking, in the form of a bonus star for either: Knockdowns without Wreck or No Wrecks (sometimes known as Record NO WRECKS). In Asphalt 6: Adrenaline and Asphalt 7: Heat, several Career races discourage wrecking. The player can wreck other racers by performing a knockdown on them. Some vehicles are more prone to wrecking than others. Generally, the angle at which the vehicle slams into something also has to be sharp (>45° on average, though this varies with speed) or the vehicle will simply violently bump against it but not wreck. A wreck is when a vehicle crashes into something at high speed and with so much force it becomes disabled for a few seconds.
