I don't know, but it could be a factor. I wouldn't rule anything out because this the first time anyone has reported an issue. I'm not saying being tracked heavily is the cause, but I wouldn't be willing to rule anything out right away.

Theoretically, the amount of fuel passing through the filter could be a factor, or the increased demand placed on the fuel system could have had an effect. We know that extended time on a race track puts more wear and tear on a car than normal street driving, or at least DIFFERENT wear and tear, maybe this is related.

Edit: I deleted my previous post to unclutter this thread and leave it for facts. I'd request that those not contributing to the actual topic of this thread do the same.
