Track Temps

[Thor 142]

At what ambient temps are you guys noticing heat issues in 19+ GT350's. I'm asking because on a short track ( speeds under 110mph) at an ambient temp of 105F i had no issues but in September I have a track day on a longer track with probably the same ambient temps only higher speeds at prolonged high RPM's. I've read that the 19+ have better cooling but I want to be prepared. Is there anything additional as far as cooling I should be aware of? Head temps? Oil Temps? Trans or diff issues?
Thanks

Cooling apparatus is identical across all years other than the 2016 tech pack. Hottest ambient temperatures I've tracked mine in was 37 C and I overheated but the car was fine.

Have run in ambients as hot as 103* here in south TX, at COTA. Never an overheating problem in either my GT350 or GT500.

My last track event at MSRH, ambient temps were 102*/103* on Saturday and Sunday at the end of June. The hottest I read was 291* on oil temp. All other temps were raised but within reason. I changed oil and the oil smelled newish and had good color. I did change the oil prior to the event. I have a 2020 R.
