There is a random, "luck", element. I can recall that one guy had a Brabham die on the grid. The engine life is not a constant.
I blew a BT24 engine on the grid in practise once. I was practising a start and was in 1st gear with the clutch in, I revved twice to half revs and once to full and it blew.

miner2049er Are you lifting off the throttle during a gear change? Yes,if you have time can check my 4 laps in replay at Roeun with the 66.I have compared,into the cockpit,my driving with Dave and Andreas(both with the Cooper like me) and i have noticed nothing so different.This mornig i have done a test on the same track but with the Brabham 67.Ten laps with the best possible time,so no saving.At lap ten the engine have produced smoke,i'm quite sure to do 1 or 2 S&G during the next race.I have a doubt on my gas pontentiometer that is not the original but i don't know a method to check if is one possibility.

Not sure at 100% but quite sure that the potentimeter can have an influence.I have done a test inverting the clutch and gas potentiometer.With this test i have burned 3 engines into the pit.The test was extreme because the acceleration was without progressivity,quite violent,probably due to a non 0 setup of the potentiometer in rest position.

Afair Fran has a Momo Wheel... You should use DXtweak2 to test your wheels potentiometers

Momo wheel but with "faster pedals" no more in production.The structure is very good ,all metal,but the potentiometer are old and the gas not original.I'm thinking to a big purchase,the Fanatec pedals are without potentiometer that ,with the time,they are under wear. The Fanatec is realy expensive but the hope is to have a product with long life.

You should use DXtweak2 to test your wheels potentiometers Wink Done Axel,at the moment i think to have done the best setup.What i don't know is the influence of the type of potentiometer.There are 10K,50K and 100K but no indication on the original.My gas is a 100K.

The potentiometer is ok as long you see the full range in the calibration!
Make shure you have the slider on full left for linear progress.

Yes ,at the moment seem OK but with some little oscillation near the zero(sometime).The zero position is not 100% but 99,73%.Until now i am not able to do better.

the zero position is not critical, my problems allways were oszillations at full throttle...
