Overheating on track only

**shimmy** · 06-07-2012, 10:16 PM

So what I need is a reply from every owner who has tracked their CSL under what can be described as hot summer conditions.

The overheating I am asking about is the type that happens on a hot (23 degree plus) day, after the car is well warmed up and the engine bay is heat soaked. As you then give it 100% throttle (this hallens when circuits have soem straights) The car will then start to have rising oil temps say up to 2/3 and then the water temps follow up and above 3/4 and rise towards the red if you let it.

If you come off the throttle within 1-2 corners the water temps drop quickly.

The question is designed to see if 100 cell cats cold be responsible for this. Please don't answer if you don't have an first hand answer
