24 Hour Endurance Race Reliability
 
I know that the engines and transmissions in the FR-S's and BRZ's have been fairly reliable even under the pressure of forced induction systems, but are they good enough to run a 24 Hour Race without having any major problems?

If it happens, I'll post a lengthy video of the entire experience. I just wanna make sure this car will cut the mustard.
