Post Engine damage F360 F1

I rented a Ferrari F360 F1 last month in Florida. They are accusing me of
damaging the engine.
What does a driver have to do to damage an engine ? I only drove it for 60
miles, mostly in town ( low speed ).
I read on the internet that the engine and / or the gearbox have rev
limiter. If this is true, what can someone who rents this car do to damage
the car ?
If the car is protected from over rev, then it is a mechanical rev limiter
that has failed ? ( if it did over rev ever )
For example, when a car like this goes to a track day, what usually
happens ? I'm just curious, I did not go to a track.
The car has over 28,000 miles on it.
Is there anything in my defense that you can say to help me ? I am sure I
didn't force the engine.
I need some literature on it ( mechanical specs, ... ).
All they say is that I overreved the engine ( I did not do that ), causing serious damage.
I just rented the car and drove it for 60 miles.
I am not responsible for maintaince.
My point is that I cannot overrev tha car because it has a rev limiter.
Can you give some technical specs, like a copy of the official Ferrari manual page about the rev limiter ?
If I have something that says that I couldn't have overreved the car I think they will stop accusing me.

Thank you very much.

Please, help.
