Hello Arnaud,

I think the damaging is still a weak part of Torcs. To me it seems it's just
a global
parameter that is added which just slows down the whole car. (top speed that
is)

I'm not a developer so I have to guess. But from my observations there's no
difference where
the dammage appeared and why.

Also it is not really consistent. Sometimes I go off the track and crash
into a barrier in a blunt angle, and get away
with hardly any damage at all. In real life that would have been the end of
the race (if not the end of the life of the driver).
On another occasion I just slightly touch another cars wheel and gain a huge
amount of damage.

But I think a developer should comment on this.

Greetings
