So im right then. I said it could outlast the engine if driven at a contant speed.

And the accelerating, deaccelerating wear would be the .0001 %

Neglible wear compared to the movement when taking up drive or changing gear whilst the car on boost.

Yes you did but you also said it wasn't being used 99.9999% of the time.

We are talking about what happens in the real world here, not theory.
And if you still want theoretical replies, if you were driving around your circuit at a constant speed you wouldn't need any form of flywheel at all, infact there would be less load on the engine without 1

...I wouldn't buy a Ford with a DMF if they kidnapped my son. In fact, after their appalling behaviour and current costs of around £2800, I will not be touching another Ford for as long as I live.

Most, if not all cars these days have DMF's... I guess you don't like your son then...?

Most DMF failures are caused by people buying the wrong car for the job and it spending all its time running round town. When its not that, its people accelerating hard from low revs or from dropping the clutch hard.

Mine is the original DMF and is now on 160k.
