Like the idea.
It also would just help to remove the reset button, as it´s not real at all, too. If you lay on you car roof in real, you are out of race.
Another thing is the suspension stuff. Sometimes if you crash into a wall with 10km/h, you damage your suspension, and later, you crash into the same wall with 70km/h and nothing happens to it.
And then, its not real that in pits the car gets fixed like that, There should be damages you should have to drive with the whole race, as physical deformations. If the wheel is flying in the air or standing 90° wrong, this shouldn´t be repaired, you should have to end your race ... .
But the question is, how much simulation we need or want ?
I mean, i guess this is really frustrating, if any wrecker ist destroying your race (let´s say longrun) and you go to box and can´t keep driving.
And on the other side, i think the most lfs drivers aren´t ready for this. On quite every public server in the first corner they are crashing and want to restart again and again.
