redline new car?

so i have around 1300km on my car (800miles). Ive been making sure to shift at 3k and not drive it hard by any means till the break in period. However, i was with some friends yesterday and they redlined the car in 1st,2nd, and not sure about 3rd. I know it can't be good but since this was the first time it was done to the car, would you say its not a big deal? i'm sure people red line new cars all the time but I'm just trying to take extra caution. I wanted them to have fun with the car so that's why i let them so it wasn't their fault in anyway.
meanwhile i'm going to make sure i shift at 3k like a old man
