That man has a point - what's the point in tuning the engine to the point that you're scared to actually use it in anger in case it goes pop?
Prescott Hill is what - a 60 second or so run with each straight only a few seconds worth of full chat? That's pretty tame compared to a typical UK trackday, let alone say the 'Ring where you're at full chat for long periods of time (must be best part of 90 seconds on the uphill drag from Bergwerk to Karussell for example).
Hell, I can think of sections of road where you work the engine far harder than Prescott...
Seriously though any car should be able to be driven in anger for 60 seconds without breaking...if not is it even roadworthy then?
