It was a beautiful day, barely hit 70. Could do 10 laps at MOST before hitting true limp mode (oil >260), and maybe 4 laps before semi-limp where speed is limited to 65(?)mph. The track is just shy of 1 mile. A couple times when oil was only ~235, the car REFUSED to respond. Just went completely dead. It was pitiful. I am very disappointed.

The car can not be tracked successfully without an oil cooler even with cooler ambient temps. The water temp is always going to be around 190-210F and the water cooling the block is the only thing that indirectly cools the oil on these cars. Did you have traction control on? VDC kills all power if you try to accelerate coming off a corner.
