Only that the motor runs hot, too much full boost, full throttle and not long enough at speed for the rad to work well. After the first time out, I ran the last lap gently and with the cabin heater hot with full fan on to try and loose some of the coolant's extra heat. in the pits, the engine fans were on for ages. Only track days I've done so far, but I have since flushed the cooling system, was full of brown water and bleed hose at rad was totally sludged up. I really gave the rad a good flushing and it does seem to run a couple of degrees cooler on the road now.
