For sure on grid and cool down - right now (before installing this) my driver side fan is wired to run on high all the time (I bypassed the failed ballast resistor) and when I turn on the AC on low which kicks the fan on, the temp really comes down fast when I hit a cool down lap. I have a replacement resistor that I will wire in soon because I don't want it running on high every time the AC is on.

On a track like Roebling, where there is a decent amount of WOT, but it is very smooth and flowing, I think it will help some, but I think it will really have a bigger impact on tighter more technical tracks like The FIRM, which is mostly a 3rd gear track with a lot of tight lower speed corners. I think running the fans during the session there should help out. Except for one sweeper, and a hairpin, this track mirrors my ex wife's driving style - floor it until it is time to slam on the brakes. The car heats up pretty quick at this track especially when it is warm or hot outside.
