suggestion for car damage

It will make sense if when getting hit from behind/not your fault, to be able to get the rear fixed/replaced during the race at the pits. The way it is right now in F1 23, if you get rear damage by another car, you have to run with an unstable car the rest of the race. While the other car that hit you it can just stop at pits and get the front replaced. How fair is that for the front car that had no fault on the incident? I realize that you can race with a reduced car damage mode to avoid this issue, but not everyone in leagues uses this mode. Standard mode is the most widely used for racing.

  • @GCAdventure just resembles real life. Limited ability to fix certain areas off car., As it real life swapping front wings is doable. Any damage to other parts off the car will either result in running rest off the race with a compromised car or to retire

    Hey there @GCAdventure 

    In a rear punt like that, more often than not the one doing the punting gets front wing damage and the one being rear ended gets damage to the diffuser. Unfortunately the latter isn't repairable in real life.

    Even the rear wing isn't repairable in real life, in the unlikely scenario that's the component being damaged. Teams will simply retire the car.

    That's often not fair, but that's also part of racing.

    I could see it being repairable in a casual mode, but on realistic performance or unassisted lobbies I'd rather the game keep it on par with the real thing.

    I understand that's how it is in real life and that the game pretends to be as close to real as possible. But for drivers in the game it is just unfair. The game does many things far a way from realism -So this exception could make the game more competitive in multiplayer mode.

    Yeah, I know there is a way to reduce damage that will affect only the front wings. That was not my case- I specifically mentioned that most leagues use standard damage set, that's where it could be benefitial for the rear damage to be able to be repaired. That was all.

    @GCAdventure I agree that there should be easier damage modes that allow for rear end damage to be repaired, but that should be up to the leagues to set them that way.
    I would always expect a "standard" damage model to follow the reality of motorsports - where damage to that area is rarely ever repairable on a pit stop.
