Destruction Derby - How the series came to be - GamerBen144 - 07-01-2021
In volume 3 of Classic Games by GamesRadar+, Martin Edmonson, created of the series, said Destruction Derby was inspired by his father taking him to actual stock car races as a child. Martin would run to each car and study the damages left behind during the races before it would be towed away for repair.
His experience at such races inspired him to create a video games that would allow players to “realistically” smash other cars.
