Purpose of roll cages and window bars

[RuinerCZ]

Hello

I am aware that added weight = more damage dealt and worse handling, also that front/rear bumpers and side protectors protect that specific side of car from damage to some extent.
But what exactly are roll cages and window bars for (except of added weight)?

Thanks

Incase if rollover, keep from being crushed or thrown from the vehicle.

And protection form cars landing on your roof on Bonebreaker Valley and some the custom tracks out there.

I dont know if the game has area specific damage (well, obviously you can see in the game that it does, but whether additional 'health' from add on armour .. say ... a big front bumper ... only gives you extra health from front impacts.
However, generically speaking, when you are tinkering with car tuning, the game shows you what effect this will have on your speed, accelaration, handling and overall strength.
I assume the 'strength' of your vehicle is the amount of damage it has to sustain before it breaks, and heavier armors increases this ability to soak more damage.
as I said, whether a front bumper only soaks front damage, or increases your cars total strength, I cannot say ... I suspect it increases overall strength.

You can't be crushed or thrown out in this game... OP's clearly asking about in-game, not in real life.

Point is they added like real derby cars. To get the realism feel. In real cars they are protection and yes they do add weight. Also depending on the rules of the show and where bars can be added like a kicker from the dash bar to the roll bar through the body mounts will add strength.

In short, they add weight and strength. Nothing else you said is really relevant to OP's question.
