Someone I know went to a track day before the first service. You'll be fine.

you will be 100% fine with anything short of a full m8 or m8 comp. Even then, you're probably fine with the full m8.

my buddy is a mechanic and says that some of the premium engines (full m5, m8, etc) need a bit of break in to ensure they don't break quickly. but even then, you're just delaying the inevitable.

ideally everything should be fine. I honestly wouldn't worry about it.
