I read somewhere, that the cars wear down slowly, after you drive them alot.
Does anybody know how this car wear is shown?
How does it make your car weaker? do you loose horsepower and/or does the car skid more/feel heavier?
Is there a cure for a car, that has been worn out? or do you have to sell it, and buy a new one? Is it enough to buy this chassis refresh kit?
What about oil change? If you change the oil before the endurance race, does anybody know how much time into the race, the oil reaches its worst, or can you actually do a 24hours race, and the oil is still okay?

every new car you have will wear down, to some degree. it depends on mileage, and it shows as loss of bhp. the loss is small, and only to a certain degree - you will not lose all hp of the car
. there is nothing you can do to prevent this, apart from not using the car. there is nothing you can do to repair it.
another thing is chassis deformation. this will happen to a car in 24h enduro and to any car once your mileage is high enoough [dont know details here], and you can't prevent it either. to check if it already happend, go to the screen where you buy tuning parts for your car, go to 'other' and look at the last thing from the left - it is called chassis refresh plan or something similar. if it is checked, don't worry. if it is not, your car's chassis needs to be restored [i know, 50k].
you will need to do it for all second hand cars [they also need oil change] and for all cars after 24h enduro. what are the effects of worn chassis? you will not be able to control your car at high speeds, even in straight line it will be all over the place, especially high powered, high speed cars. again, you cannot prevent it, but you can restore the car for a 50k fee.
oil change - done on a new car before any racing will increase car's hp by 5%. done on a second hand car will restore its hp to original value [which still will be smaller than hp of the same, new car becasue second hand cars have high mileage]. done before 24h enduro will nor affect your car's performance in a race, and you will need to do it again after the race. there is no way any car can do 24h enduro on 1 oil change.
before you ask
- you cannot leave enduro to change oil and then go back.
worn out car has only minimal hp loss, so its as good as new, unless you are a perfectionist and want your cars in mint condition, you can keep it. if you want the car to be perfect, you will have to get a new one, and don't use it too much.
chassis refresh plan, if you use a car a lot, you will have to buy it multiple times. i dont know how many miles you need to clock in, but if you use the same car, you will need to spend 50k every now and then. DO NOT buy roll-cage [chassis stiffening] if your car is due chassis refresh plan. if you want to buy a roll-cage [its on the left of chassis refresh plan in the 'other' section of tuning screen] ALWAYS buy it AFTER you do chassis refresh.
And one more thing. Your B-spec driver will have a max speed of about 340 km/h on the Hunaudieres straight, where you easily reach 370-380 km/h, so don't be surprised by its top speed.
