Get real man manufacturers realize damage happens in racing situations and they aren't as picky as you may think about showing it. Characteristics of the car change every time they rub, tap a wall, spin out on the grass, clip a corner short, etc.
This is just a fact and hiding it only makes the game more fake and takes away a portion of the challenge.
Umm...read that last sentence you wrote out loud. Notice anything stunningly obvious?
GRAN TURISMO IS A GAME, GENIUS! THAT AUTOMATICALLY MAKES IT FAKE!!
I suppose you could make a better console driving sim with your excellent programming skills, huh? Or maybe your computer knowledge ends with changing HAN users posts to read like one of your gay wet dreams?
Another point you've obviously missed about GT is that not all the cars in the game are race cars. There are MANY regular vehicles. So while "manufacturers realize damage happens in racing situations" and might not be adverse to showing such, many of them do NOT like the products they sell to the general public to show damage in a video game. Don't believe me? Ask anyone less ignorant than yourself if this isn't the truth as to why GT has never featured visible car damage...
