Of course you want to have the car totaled; I would too - and even if it weren’t, I wouldn’t keep it. The car’s already been broken twice, and what percentage of the fixes won’t be as good as OEM? Life’s too short to worry about it, especially when your butt is on the line at the track.
There are lots of possibilities here for concealed damage - pursue them all. For example, does the right-rear wheel track 100% true? What about the alignment at both ends? Did the fuel filler neck get moved enough to compromise its integrity where it attaches to the fuel tank? And then find out if the driver of the other car has any money (or a job) to get what you can from this situation. Diminished value will be very hard to prove on a mass-produced vehicle that the “experts” feel can be repaired for normally acceptable driving conditions.
