S17 Pinewood test race

Oh, that explains total lack of boredom, every corner is fun to drive.

I've done some intentional kurb-hopping at various speeds and have to conclude that the damage isn't a bug in any way.
You have to hit the kerbs much harder than I thought in order to do damage - so if anything they aren't severe enough!

Unfortunately this track seems good in every part except for the chicane. If you touch the armco on the left your car is kaputt!

I quote myself just because maybe I wasn't clear enough. The trouble is not the chicane itself. In my last lap crash I didn't report damage for hitting chicane curbs. As I said in advance the real trouble is the armco on the left in the specific point in which I crashed on it, because I experienced this issue many times in my first practice laps some days before the race  

The angle with which you hit the armco is not relevant it seems. Your car will instantly explode in the air. Than you will see some anti Lambo mines planted under the surface exploding like a timed building demolition  

Look to believe

Agreed. I never drove on it in practice but in the heat of the race, I did once. 1 tengh before I thought "Ok, this Lambo is going to be done here" and actually the car managed to endure that very well, quite unrealistically well I'd say.

I'm not so sure Matteo : to me this crash is rather believable-ish (then we all know that nor AC neither any other sim is about nicely simulating the crashes). Then about anti-Lambo mines, I think it might happen in any place in fact, as to me it's car damage related, because of your severly damaged front suspensions/wheels. I kinda remember a comparable behaviour after a big crash in T1. Of course you're right that it looks weird, but not sure it's due to a track glitch.

I would agree with you if I had T-Boned the armco in a Grosjean style F1 Bahrain GP Maxime, but I didn't.

With my impact angle I wouldn't expect a complete stop from 130 kph to 0 in the space of 0 meters. The same didn't happened to Syd after he crashed on a slightly later spot of that armco.

Then we all know that AC is rubbish about damage model, and my race would have been compromised for sure in real life after a crash like that, but I guess we need to be very careful to attempt an overtake in that part of the track in order to avoid worse consequences for the drivers involved.
