Indycar variant is something I might consider at some point, but right now I want to do the finishing touches to get the car out of the door so additional engines won't happen for V1.0.

As for the wing, there seems to be a ton of variations when it comes to wings and intake scoop design, partially due to this being an era where there where aerodynamics weren't as well understood. There's a bunch of pictures of Lola T332s with thick single element rear wings out there.

However I do agree that 2 element wings look better, and probably work better for the later years of the car, when teams understood that yes they do work better, so I'm looking into updating that.

I'm personally not a fan of drivers and dummies in beamNG cars for multiple reasons.

For technical reasons it's more complexity in the jbeam for a type of car that difficult to get to handle right and needs to a lot of thought into jbeam simplification to get it to fit into the target weight. Having a pile of nodes just jiggling around in the cockpit doesn't seem conducive to good handling.

And I also really dislike the "DEADLY CRASH!1!!!!!1!!!" content that I feel comes from adding people/dummies in the cars.

As for durability and crash realism I feel like it's alright, although there's still some fine tuning required.
Hitting the wing and or wheels into things will pretty much always bend and/or break things.
The wings will permanently bend a decent bit before breaking, with each side of the front wing being a separate part.
The center body shell is also jbeamed as a separate part and while it doesn't usually come off in crashes, it does allow the body to deform somewhat separately.
