Here is a good comment from the Admin forum by Drago concerning the many Engine failures:

Main problem is rpm : you have absolutely to lower rpm for race setn in order not to stress too mutch the engine, and take care too not have too high rpm while downing gears too while driving.
The engine suffers a lot for mechanical stress rather than for heat stress.
Take care also that boost add some rpm to your max rpm, so for example if you set max rpm to 19300 but with boost on 8 your higher rpm will be higher than 19300 ( maybe 19400-19500 , can't remember exactly) .
