low oil pressure on the track

I had a great track day @ Infineon yesterday :-)
Well, actually I had to cut it a little short
In session 4 I noticed that even at full RPM the oil pressure gauge was somewhere between 2 and 3 (usually its at 4.5when the RPM are higher than 2k)
Outside temp was 95 degrees and the water temp was at about 220
So I called it a day, let the engine cool down and drove home where everything was back to normal
Could it be that I am using the wrong oil?
I am currently using Mobil 1 15W50

And yes I have an oil pressure gauge in my car:
