In the demo it seems that you can bounce off a lot of hard objects
before any real damage is done to the car.  In the full version is there
a "realistic" mode?  I have participated in amateur sprint rallies here
in Canada, and let me tell you, if you happen to "catch" your rear
quarter panel on a tree trunk or telephone pole at even 80km/h, BIG
damage happens!  It seems a little ridiculous that in the demo you can
hit a brick wall at 185km/h and just bounce off and continue racing with
only a bent front cowling to show for it!

And that is exactly what took out the Sprongls in their monster Audi S2 at
one of the rallies in Canada last year.  It looked like a mild tap from
the helicopter camera, but it ripped out their left rear suspension.  I'd
love an ultra-realistic mode... makes it that much more important to be
clean in your driving line.

Hey Im happy I ain't the only guy in the world watching this show ;-)

A little more momentum and there was a lake awaiting for them on the other
side of the road !  I was really surprised also that such a little tap (from
a certain point of view) completely took out the suspension and bent the
wheel axis on the back.
