Yeah, I agree, I need to improve the airflow to that oil cooler. The OEM lower grills are way too restrictive for airflow.
a car staged with engine running between autoX runs is nowhere near the profile of a 20-30 minute HPDE where you're constantly on the throttle or brakes for the entire session. You can't compare the 2. You shouldn't see any overheating or power loss issues at an autoX event.
