That's why race car engines are lucky to last for one race and then have to be rebuilt.

Apples and oranges. These engines are designed to be workhorses.. not only for automobiles but industrial machinery.. they are designed to run at maximum capicity. On the other hand, race car engines are designed to do one thing, and one thing only.. win one race. They are tuned with performance in mind, not engine longevity. The wonderful engineers at Mercedes-Benz designed these engines with longevity in mind.
