If I understood my racer/friend correctly, temps in the oil pan will be significantly hotter; especially when racing/tracking...if the sensor is there then I don't see this as a big problem.
It would seem to me, in fact, that the EMS is being a little "over protective" if it's kicking in at the 208 range and that temp is coming from near the pan.
I'm no mechanic so I'm certainly no expert...that's why I make friends who are...just doing a little theorizing here!
I also agree, an autocross should not significantly impact oil temps...the runs just aren't long enough even on a very hot day.
