Done properly, which means the way Ford describes it on page 13 of the manual, a PP1 needs nothing to do just fine on a road course. Ford says 15 minute sessions in there (15-17 model years), but the warm up and cool down laps should be leisurely so I figure 20 minute sessions on a 2 minute/lap track are fine.
The first time I ran my '16 PP1 on a road course it was bone stock except for better wheels and tires and it was completely fine in all respects, driven mostly at 85-90% of max with the odd 100% lap thrown in. I was very impressed with how well it did when driving it within the limits of the platform ie don't banzai it into corners balls out, etc.
I wish it had trans/diff coolers now as I am altering it more for track use but the lack of them isn't a serious handicap for 20 minute sessions in spring and fall. I don't track it in July/Aug, it's just too damn hot for the driver, and probably the car too.
