I saw several people mentioning in the Wiki that if your car is damaged or wears down during a race, this immediately has an impact on your performance in the ongoing race (max speed, accelaration...). I Always tought that the stats were stable during the race, and detorioration only occurred afterward, when the damage was "booked".

Can somebody confirm or deny the above?
