Overheating on track only

I removed the AUX fan and kept the viscus fan.
It's good enough for the non-AC CSL, so it's good enough for my car (I don't run the AC while stopped).

Why are you saying 88C for the thermostat ?
The S54 thermostat is 80C.

I like the electric fan installation.
I will try it on my car too for performance reasons.

Shimmy > the rubber sealing on the top of the bonnet should be sufficient to release the hot air from the engine bay.
I had done this on my Z3 and the intake manifold temperature decrease was shocking to say the least (from 55-60C down to 30C, with 26C ambient temperature).
