Career races. Can you repair car?

[Vrede]

I don't know if I'm missing something.
But when I'm playing races and such in the career and I touch a curb or another car, the steering gets wonky, as expected. But is there a way to quickly repair the car or do you always have to start over if you want to finish the race with functional steering?
All I'm seeing is option to flip the car or resetting it, and that doesn't repair the car.

I've spent a few hours in career mode and from my playing, no, you can only flip your car back over in the middle of a race. It does make sense though because Beam is a sim game where crashes and impacts affect your overall ability to handle the car and ultimately continue the race. My recommendation would be to practice the race your having trouble with to learn where the corners are and the best-ish way to take them. Doing this at a slower speed then slowly increasing your speed with each run can work wonders. If you know the route even a little bit, you'll be able to smoke the AI if you hold solid lines. Beam isn't like any other racing games so a little bit of practice will make a massive difference. Good luck!

Yeah, I guess I can get why it is like that. It just feels like a bummer when you're on your last lap and accidently hit a curb or something and it gets really hard to stear, so much that you have to start over.
It does make it feel more important to do clean laps though, which is a bit of fresh air and I kind of like it. I'm not a noob of racing games, I'm just so used to spawn the car repaired or rewinding, from other games, that I thought that maybe it was an oversight here.
Thanks for your reply.
