Sorry for the naive questions, but maintenance is important for race car longevity....

Add rebuild the brakes with new seals every season. Track heat cooks the seals and they tend to fail at the track, not at home were the shop is.

Also add clutch fluid flush or clutch cable service each year.

Front bearings should be inspected repacked or replaced if the open type.
