Is '17 going to incorporate mechanical errors?

Recommended Posts

Will I have gear box issues? Will I have steering column failure? Will I get random punctures with tyres at 15%? Etc.... Just looking for an added element of realism for the new game and hoping it is there.

Gearbox issues are in the game, e.g. you can lose a gear. This has an increasing chance to happen with higher wear. Steering column failure isn' in game, but maybe (?) suspension arms. You can get punctures by making contact with walls/other drivers or if you run over some debris.

No I meant random punctures, like driving and hitting nothing but you got bad luck. Basically I just want more "acts of God" on the game to add a level of difficulty

I think Lee Mather confirmed that engine failures will see a DNF
