Do you run with the front arch liners removed?

That is something to consider - once you have started the car, driven slowly threw from the paddock to the grid and been siting there for several minutes with the engine running. Will it start to over heat if there is no fans there?

No doubt - in the middle of the Summer if your engine is at normal operating temperature, and you sit for several minutes with no airflow, your engine is liable to start puking water / water wetter.

However, if you plan ahead, and get the engine just a bit warm and shut it off when you first get to grid, you will be OK. Then just start it up again when you get the 1 minute warning.

Good luck.

Or I could go half-way and just remove one fan - maybe as has already been suggested, to remove the one on the driver side only?

Ditch the fans. Leave the liners in place unless you plan to buy the two piece GT3 liners which BLOCK off the bottom air exit and direct it in next to the body.

We took a new to the track car out this past weekend.. it beat the backside of the radiators up in NO time (with no inner fenderwell liners) ... on Nitto NT01's!!! (would have been much worse with a slick)

Do not worry about grid. NO PORSCHE CUP CAR OR RSR shipped with fans The second you start moving the temps will drop drastically (even moving through the pits)

Last time I checked You don't get 100 degree+ days in Finland very often
