Hi everyone,

I am looking for a definite answer to whether damage incurred during online races is permanent.

To to clarify, say I drive my favourite 4million cr car in an online race and I hit a barrier or get crashed into, there is damage incurred for the race. When you quit the online lobby and return to offline GT mode, is the damage still incurred (e.g. would i need to shift 500,000 cr to restore body rigidity).

Thanks!

Yes you're Veyron is safe, it's only offline races that mess you up. Although I haven't even done the rigidity restoration once since I got my Veyron since I'm too cheap. I think it drives fines :D.
 
What are you talking about? Online races can affect your car's chassis. Just not in Free Run mode. Damage goes away, but your chassis is still slightly messed up.

I knew that $500,00 didn't come out of no where! Oh well, screw it, I'm not racing pro anyway.
 
That is incorrect. Collisons have nothing to do with chassis damage. The only thing that affects chassis damage is the number of miles you have driven. OP, every time you begin a race, your car will be repaired, online or off, until you reach the extreme need for an engine rebuild or chassis rebuild (which is only affected by miles driven.).

Didn't mean to sound harsh, ED ;).
 
I'll trust CAM since I know that he knows what he's talking about. There's you answer oneandonly.

How do collisions not affect your car's chassis?

I don't think GT5 is trying to be the ultra-realistic-driving simulator because then insurance would be involved too.
 
Because PD didn't model it into the game, is the simplest way I know how to put it. If you take an Audi R10 and ram into a wall head on 50 times in a row, once you start the race over the only thing the game remembers is the miles driven, not the number or severity of the collisions.
 
How come I can buy a new car, hit a wall a couple of times or maybe even once, and be able to do the chassis restoration?
 
Because the game lets you do it almost anytime (after a few miles are driven). It's the same with the oil change...
 
Because you put miles on the car, therefore altering the chassis. If you take a car out and not even graze a wall, it will let you do a chassis rebuild also ;).
 
Jep I also thought that using cars and putting miles on them makes your chassis not rigid anymore. It would be ridiculous that everytime you crash, you have to spend all your money to repair your car :p
 
During heavy damage races you got to pit to restore your car, but yeah otherwise once you leave the lobby with your car all mangled up, it'll go back to normal once you reach the gt life screen.
 
My opinion is this! take your cars to Nur and drive that track and you will find all the faults in your car. I test all my cars on Nur! and it is lots of fun to drive it. use the one in the Expert series and you have some big guns to go against there. Just what I do and it works for me. Also it will let you know if you can drive or not!

Odd though, because I remember doing a rally race in a white Lancer and then going to another race and seeing brown dirtmarks on the car.
