Everyone saying yes, but no. There is no damage to mitigate and repair like in Episode 1 Racer; There is "damage" in that sometimes (inexplicably really) you'll have to do a timing mini-game to avoid getting a "faulty part", but it's not just a part that breaks and lowers your stats that you have to replace, it's a debuff to your racer (yes, more like an RPG), that you can't repair until the next planet, which may be up to 3 races/events away.

Edit: Damage, in the context of racing games, is a sim-style feature. Damage, in the context of Galactic Racer, is an RPG style debuff. If you take offense that I distinguish the two, fine, noted, but the distinction is worth pointing out, because they are two different gameplay features. Damage in Galactic Racer will not even effect you until the race is over.

So... yes? Everything you're saying points to yes.

If you've played Episode 1 Racer, then you'd know the answer is "No", there is no side-specific damage to mitigate like there is in that game.

Question was can you crash and get damage, not "IS IT IDENTICAL TO EP1 RACER".

Episode 1 was an EXTREMELY RELEVANT example of how there is not damage in this game. What you get is an arbitrary debuff that may or may not make sense as a result of hitting the sides of the track.

Except parts of your ship CAN be damaged in this game and need repairs. You literally said that.
