I've read a ton on this and it feels like -

Intercooler + Oil cooler may be the ticket / possible grill increase flow but I don't think that does much personally

It does seem to be 'track specific' as noted in the article. On tracks with more carrying speed and straights it seems to do well, it's the short courses with a lot of speed turns and such that cranks the temps so hard on these cars it seems. Nurburbring has a lot of speed on it so no overheat for example during their testing. Also very cool in Germany I'd wager compared to some other track locations.
It overheats at the ring.

So has anyone changed just the rad or just the hood to get rid of the overheating issue or do you need to do both for full out track use? And no, I am not prepared to delete the AC and I really would like to run 30 minute sessions if possible.
