The key to remember is the clutch doesn't wear at all until you push the clutch pedal. The more efficiently and smoothly you drive, especially on a track, the longer your clutch lasts.
I know skilled but conservative drivers who get well over 100,000 miles out of one clutch.

80,000 miles ~ 124,000km - I hope it lasts longer than that.
My current DD is at 149,xxx km and I haven't had to change the clutch on it yet but I don't know if the previous owner changed it.
On my dad's old corolla where I put most of the miles on it, I changed the clutch at 120,000 km but keep in mind that was my first stick shift (heck, first car) and I did abuse the hell out of it.
