Check this replay! I dunno how, but one car was very damaged on start...
P.S. http://www.cargame.nl/dl.php?id=362180
7:40 of replay, i'm not sure what was that too.(near my car)

weird

happened to me once. It seems damage done in last 3 sec. before start will stay on the car for next race, although it's only cosmetic. I think a penalty will also carry to next race if you get it in the last 3 sec before restart.

That happned already to me previos. But this was crazy. When was racing it was ok, but checked replay it showed this.

The worst one for me was before green flag at a start of a race and he was laging for more than 10 sec and he appeared with half of his car in mine and that was it, car completely destroyed, the pit repair took... minutes . I said this before but lots of people wont like it and it's that lfs should not let people connect with ping more than 150 ms and kicked if laging.

Hard to do because some people will not lag most of the time and then disapear for a few seconds. The problem is not the ping but the spikes. Jitter is more important than ping in this case I think

And second replay - 1st lap leader driving through tyres WE1, but he didn't, coz he didn't lost speed(also could see that in a race too)
And when replay it more times it shows different damage everytime. But damage disappears before 2nd split.
Crazy lags nowadays...

The crash on 7.40+ looks like a lag hit too, leader's first lap going through tires is definitely lag. Seen that in racing when someone has lag, these weird lines they have and suddenly teleporting back on course.
