Rear wing/ Gearbox collision damage?

Recommended Posts

come on, front wing has all these fancy parts which can fall off on F1 2017 yet if you smash into a wall slap bang with the rear of the car you will drive off Scott free like some kind of Rallycross car :D

Yeah I wish that will be changed in F1 2018 but I'm pretty sure they wont...I was pretty sure to have read it here last year, it's not a problem od damage system but due to the fact that sponsors doesn't like to see the part were the main sponsor removed...sounds so stupid to me...but nothing we could do about it...

I really hope they can get permission from F1 to do this or if not visual make it have some kind of damage which effects the car.

It's rare, but in online I've had gearbox damage from someone hitting my rear. Lost 3rd gear for a few laps as a result.

When the car hitbox is square you can't expect anything better than the game offers you. Drive into another car rear and watch the replay in slow mode and you get the point.

We need rear wing damage back. That was a thing in older games believe it or not. It only happened in really deadly collisions, but it was a thing.

If I can recall correctly it was back in the days F1 2002 - 05, where you could actually break the rear wing by simply reversing into wall or it might just damage it, but certainly not braking at all and running car in front caused those rear wings fly of the car. Good times lol.

When a f1 driver losses the rear wing driver normally retires the car same goes with the diffuser. the rear wing barge boards diffuser aren't quickly changeably. i know older games had full damage but games would automatically retire the car. greifers online would increase if damage was full on rear of car.. would be absolutely chaos.

I also remember when playing 2003 where the rear wing would just fly off for no reason.

As much as I am all for this, @f1fan0543 is actually right, any damage at all in real life leads to a retirement because otherwise you are just running up mileage on the engine in last place.
