Your temperature seems about right. I blagged a ride in the Ruf Nardo GT2 - onboard computer was showing 23/24 degrees C from what i remember. It posted a 195mph on that run.
I think the wind must have been fairly significant. At 195 the GT2 felt pretty unstable - worse than i remember MOD's at 195!! I've no idea about strength but it was blowing top left to bottom right as you look down the runway. The wind sock was raised a little throughout the day - i should have taken a photo.
For reference my S1 elise would only manage 123mph against 132mph last time.

) and there was no real wind there only light thermal stuff from the North - I'd love to show the shots but my drive broke and those pics are not in my back up.....If the sock was up then there must have been a thermal breeze but it can't have been more than ~5-10knots...... It is fascinating what slowed all the cars up 'tho'. Problem is because noone actually data logs it is hard to know the real truth about speeds people are doing. Not that it matters because vmax was supposed to just be a bit of fun but it has inevitably graduated (for some) into a low level p!ssing contest

My dick is bigger than yours,
Plus, I log everything. Post turbo pre-intercooler temp, post turbo post intercooler temp. ECU temp, egt for each cylinder, blah, blah, blah... AX22 speed and G.
Net, net, I need more power...
Plus I now have 8MB of logging from my AIM display. Still need more power mind.

Just for my own records (RL archive 
)
Two new fuel pumps later and still the fuse blew after WOT in 2 nd gear. Seems fine with oxygen sensors disconnected so my tech reckons 1 or more of these is shot since they apparently have something to do with that fuse !
My car does seem to enjoy eating oxygen sensors, they seem to last about 10K miles
