It may be a matter of statistics and percentages. Let's say they sell 3000 cars per year, what statistically will the driver use it for, what are the chances of the driver driving the car hard on the street, what are the chances of the customer driving the car on the track and out of that how many drivers will take the powertrain to the limit enough to cause some type of failure and be in warranty period.

It's probably why they don't have a large contract like that, too many variables and maybe 10 failures on track per 3000 cars. That's something a very huge company with lot's of money wouldn't want to get involved with. Too much litigation.
