Question about AI pitting

[warp9engage]

The official forums aren't being helpful, so maybe the GTPlanet community can chime in with some of their experiences.

In Assetto Corsa, do the AI pit to repair damage (from a crash, for instance), or only at a specific time?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

I have seen AI cars breaking their windshields and hitting barriers very hard without entering the pits directly afterwards. To be frank though, AC's collision damage system is ridiculously forgiving even at its highest setting. I have no idea why this aspect of the game has remained so underdeveloped for so long now.

I think fuel is the only thing that will force them to pit.
