They are very guarded as to the exact temperature threshold.
Another question is, how many run their track day with a full tank of fuel and carry that extra weight around.
My ClubSport do 50L per 100km at full tilt, that's 4.7 mpg. 100km is 20 laps on my track and that's 3 sessions. I never fill the tank to the top which is a 100L tank.
I refuel every session and just put in enough for each session, which is one 20L jug. It's really not a problem refuelling the 5L water tank when I refuel the gas tank after every session.

And COTA
And COTA too
Do you know if COTA has a hose? I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not about the water station. I doubt they have a water station, but i could be wrong.
Do tracks actually have water stations?

And yet another reason why NA is the best.

Cota does in the bathrooms in the garages. Plus the lounge areas.

FWIW, even on a regular GT3 in hot weather MPSC2 tires last much less than 20 minutes of 10/10 driving before performance degrades measurably. So on GT2 RS with much more power and not much more tire patch, it's likely that stock tires will be more limiting than the water tank size. We'll see, of course. But making a bigger tank is such a simple thing that Porsche would have done it if it was really a limiting factor.

That is not 2 full 'sessions', so you could be having to fill up the reservoir after very 4,5,6 lap session, to avoid running out in the next one.....
That's much more frequently than fuel, and a total PITA if it was to be the case. Let's hope not, and I guess no point speculating.
