Thanks
The best carpet to use is CRC carpet, which as far as I know is the only special made Ozite and uses material and glue which will not be degraded by tire sauce. How long the rug lasts is dependant on how you use it, with 100 entries twice a week the rug wont last as long as, say, 20 entries once a week, and with lax rules on ride height and screws under the chassis you may pick up a few tears, but overall the carpet is likely to last as long as it is needed even if isn't 100% perfect anymore.
