100hr covers a lot of mileage. Take Laguna Seca as an example, for a lap of around 1:40, average speed will be ~80mph. 100hrs of that is like 8000 miles. Hard 8000 miles, not 8000 miles in city traffic.

Rebuilt doesn't means change everything, it just means opening it up to check for out of specs, and change stuff as needed. The only items that's on a replacement schedule are the drive shafts.

Car is ordered in China. We got options for Weissach with/without rollcage. The funny thing is we practically ban aftermarket exhausts but we do allow apdative headlights and roll cage

Ah, then yes your chassis will be prepped for roll cage. And as fro the after market exhaust, that's noise regulation. They don't like loud cars haha

A friend drove his gt3rs really hard and had a blown engine at 5k track miles. Warranty covered but they disassembled the engine and found the camshaft/timing gave up due to all the load. Might be a good idea for a small rebuild on those street engines if it's out of warranty and tracked a lot. He is a gentleman racer in GT3 class if that matters, at my pace it would definately last longer.
