Just wondering if something like a track day could cause engine failure.
Having the right tune is important and although the manufacture's tune is usually fine you reduce risk (a little) with one specific to your car.
You could blow the engine with the car sitting at idle in your driveway or you could do 100 track days perfectly fine. Many guys track with no issues but it does increase the risk though. Even a fully built engine can blow so there is no sure way of going about it.
