I’ve been tracking my car (VIR) with R compounds for years and in addition to track events have been completing up to 20 autocrosses/year. It’s been living this life for 7 years or so, with no extra cooling or oil modifications (stock cooler, stock baffle etc) and I’ve been running Mobil one (not the best). It’s never had a problem, it’s outlived most of my buddy’s non-Porsche engines. I don’t have any “tricks” I redline it, don’t pay any mind to long sweepers and don’t have any oil gauges. VIR doesn’t have any banked corners per day but the car does pull 1.28 Gs in hog pen due to the elevation change. This all being said it’s probably on fire as we speak...better go check on it
