How Long Did Your Clutch Last (Solo Specific)

For all you MINI autocrossers out there, how long did your clutch last?

Obviously this will depend on the car and the class, so list those out too please, and whether or not you launch for every run.

I'm just trying to get a gauge of when the clutch will go. It's hard to tell because the pedal is so soft. I ran a 2008 MINI in HS last season, purchased with like 90k miles on the clock, and I never had a problem with the clutch. Wonder if that's typical or not. For the non-S, I believe the clutch is the same as the S's, so I assume there is going to be some decent longevity there.

From: Portlandia North, WA
'07 MCS - DS (GS my first year)
5 years of 60-70 runs a year as well as being a daily driver
52K + miles (not a rider of the clutch)
I get my clutch engaged quickly, little to no wheel spin if I can help it. Then I use the torque of my MCS to do the rest. Not sure exactly what constitutes a "launch".
No problems with the clutch so for. (Knock on clutch pad material)

that's pretty impressive! i've never heard much about people having issues with wearing out clutches with this car, so i'm hoping they last for quite some time
