On the track the pump is 100% so kind of not so cool feature and it is just about hype. I'm sure Shiv would have commnet about this also.

These are my feelings too. I don't think there is much we can do in the software to keep things cool short of reducing power. The water pump is at 100% under full load so I'm not sure how useful it is to drive it harder when less heat is being generated. The only "fix" (or, more appropriately, "band-aid") we could think of and implement into the PROcede is a time-based boost decay under sustained load conditions. The more laps you do, the lower the boost drops. Which should keep things from spiraling downwards. Of course, a higher capacity cooling system would be the ideal fix.
