Re: revving the engine

Engine wear is exponential to rpm. An engine that only revs to 5000rpm would normally last 4 times longer than an engine that revs to 10,000rpm. That is why Formula 1 and Champ car engines are rebuilt so often. Formula 1 engines rev to 19,000rpm and often last the race duration(sometimes even fail mid race )
