Street/Race Clutch

Incidentally after having driven my car a couple of times on the track and downshifting at high RPM I began to start wondering about the durability of the clutch and gearbox.

Has anyone abused and broken their drivetrain yet?

here in Quebec we a have a competition called Echo Cup, racing Echos with little mods - same engine/transmission as with Yaris. Engine block&head/transmission/clutch being stock. The engine is strong, as well as the clutch, however I've heard about a couple of broken transmissions.
