I live 300 miles North of Watkins Glen. During the racing season, ambient temperatures range from the 50s to the low 90s in general at the local tracks.
I have never felt the need for any additional cooling of anything (2019 base GT) except brakes.
Of all the regulars at my local track, I have the only base GT. Most others drive PP1, there are 3 GT350 and 1 GT500.
I am the only regular who tracks an LSD S550. All cars are manual except the GT500 obviously.
During the season, several of the other S550 guys mentioned to me that their car went into limp mode after their differential overheated. Mine never did. Is the Torsen differential more likely to overheat than the LSD?
The track is a 3rd gear track for me. I use the 4th gear in the esses to better modulate the throttle but I could stay in 3rd as the top speed before the braking zone is around 100mph.
The Gt350 cars run the course in 2nd and 3rd, probably because of gearing. I don't know about the PP1 cars. Any ideas what could explain the PP1 cars going limp but not me?
