  "textContent": "Wreckfest 2 content update #7 arrived earlier today and there’s a lot packed into it. A couple of new cars were added, along with one that’s literally half a car with a ragdoll driver flopping around inside it. Somehow it fits the game perfectly.\n\nThe new vehicles include the Stahlwagen, a rear-wheel drive wagon, and the Valken, a smaller front-wheel drive hatchback with a very 90s look to it. The weird little half-car version of the Crusader is probably going to steal most of the attention though.\n\nThere’s also a new track called Mora Raceway. It comes with three layouts, including a full tarmac circuit, a tighter sprint layout built for beating and banging, and a fast oval that looks like it could get messy in a hurry.\n\nCar tuning has been added too, along with improved crash physics and a bunch of other changes based on player feedback. Seven new Challenge events are included, along with a new game mode called Suicide Race.
