The kind of damage model there is in the new WRC game.
Damages can go all the way to "terminal"
And if you look at the front passenger tire, punctures are also a thing.

I tried to play with in full manual mode, having to use the clutch but 2 things: 1- if you shift without using the clutch, it throws you in neutral which is very unrealistic. 2- my clutch pedal has 0 feel or pressure which is also very unrealistic. Automatic clutch action is much better.

Anybody else bought it or thinking about it?

I was grinding at Daytona and decided to create myself a new challenge. The average lap time without manual interaction was about 0:51:*** seconds a lap with lapping all cars 14 times. I drove the Fiat for the whole race and tried to improve my lap time and any other parameters. I ended up getting a fastest lap time of 0:47:548, I lapped all cars 17 times and finished the 30 laps in 25:08:001.
It kept me busy for 25 minutes.

Happened to click on a prompt I saw on my homepage talking about odd and kinda weird trucks,, found the perfect solution to my ALWAYS ending up facing 180 degrees from the direction we're going when I spin out,, THIS will fix that!

To add to this morning’s discussion of the original Laguna Seca Raceway layout, it operated in that configuration from opening in 1958 through 1987. On the satellite photo of the track below, I have marked in red the routing of the original track section. The track record of the “short” layout is held by Mario Andretti at 52.926 seconds, in a Lola/Chevrolet IndyCar in 1987.

The "new" hairpin is called the Andretti Hairpin.
Is that related to Mario's record and the fact it can not be broken anymore?
