My impression from ~250h is that, no matter how "deep in the green" the car starts, the clean top speed is unchhanged. That is, both a just repaired and half green bar left PR94 2014 919 will hit roughly 375 kph on Mulsanne after a decent exit from Tertre Rouge (305-310 kph).

Wall bruising won't affect that much. I am unsure if being hit from behind affects that at all. But head on collisions against lapped, stray 911's on (ironically) Porsche will hurt the speed significantly. Doesn't take much to make 370 unreachable, but you need a few serious shunts to top at ~357.

Things I don't know:


 * is the effect a loss of power or an increase of Cd?


 * does this affect braking and cornering performance?


 * does this affect downforce?

I always seem to find Porsche more difficult after a few crashes, but I'm nowhere near good enough to know whether this is concentration or me not caring much anymore or whether it is just an effect of different exit speeds and coasting speed loss.
