I was also told run an engine in gently.... handbooks used to say similar
Race engines, I think they get thrashed from day 1 which fits with run in fast, always fast but they have a short life

A new car should be driven sensibly initially, without revving the hell out of it, making use of the gears as intended and breaking correctly, then follow the manufacturer's guidance for service. That is it!.
race engines are for winning races, they are stripped down at the end of each race and each component is examined under the microscope!.
