Race car belts are essentially the same as those found in aircraft. Those RN aircraft that I used to work on (a long time ago) had regular inspections (for poor stitching, contamination etc etc) & servicing and were then re-fitted to the aircraft. Some belts would have been many years old. Alternatively, a belt that had just had some OM15 or some other oil split on it might only be a few weeks old but would have been taken out of service. Seems an eminently sensible approach.
