In my opinion, the damage engine of AC is detailed enough to make a big difference between %60-%100 settings, e.g. no damage can cause a loss of downforce. Yes, you'll probably have some extra aero drag if you hit someone from behind. But unless you hit a wall with full speed or get t-boned by another racer, a driver who cannot lap consistently or cannot drive close to the limit won't be able to tell the difference of an aero damaged car. The only significant punishments will be broken axles, which is not so common for racing incident type of contacts.
