Have you found what the problem was or found a solution.

1/2 a lap stuck behind an R8 who wouldn't move over seemed to be the problem.
Not only was it close to 30deg but was running into all the hot air coming out the back of that thing.

At the same DN9 event, mine had perfect water temps, but 125 deg oil temps and I was running the air con all the time. As mentioned the ambients were 30 deg and the on track the temps rose to 38 deg as displayed on the dash, which was the hottest I've ever run the car at full chat.

I then had similar oil temps at Silverstone, hence why I'm going to invest in an oil cooler.

I find it odd that a few people have oil overheating issues.
Mine never had any oil overheating.

Has anyone thought that the oil thermostat could be broken ?

Perhaps you don't drive fast enough

.

I believe it to be okay, as in normal driving it hovers around the correct 100°C.

Also worth mentioning that Ali looked like he'd been in a wet t-shirt competition through the sweat from having heaters on

Didn't like the idea of coming off the throttle early approach.

Alternative was + 32 on heaters when driving an M3 that felt like a greenhouse in 30 deg heat. As you know, the the result was a sweat fest!!!

I'd have gone for your approach too to be fair!

+1 on the elevated water temps at DN9 (brand new radiator and thermostat in mine), I too looked like a spring break hoochie when i peeled myself out the car due to running the fans at full heat but the blowers on as low as possible and the windows cracked open a bit

going to have a look at improving the cooling system (if it means removing the clutch fan then so be it) over winter when i plumb in some brake ducting with the CSL bumper

oil temps were about 120-125 so nothing untoward there
