Just wondering if something like a track day could cause engine failure.
I wouldn't ever expect 100% confidence against failure on the track with FI, but there are things that can be done to improve the odds like higher octane gas, avoiding extended hard use on exceptionally hot days, avoiding WOT at low rpm especially in higher gears, monitoring oil temperatures and backing off when they go up too much, etc. It's a matter of risk tolerance. If I could not stomach the cost of an engine build, I would play it safe and stay away from road courses or maybe go and soft pedal a few of them.
