Default 2010 GT3 Gauges during hot summer

If you want to know how GT3 Gauges look like during hot summer then here it is.
BTW, AC went and as preventive it will goes off when the water temp goes beyond 90 C degree.

if you keep driving in stop & go traffic then a warning will appear with message fan blower faulty, stop the engine". i dont think you can ignore specially when AC off and car is boiling.

solution: drive through highways, don't ever drive in stop & go traffic during hot summer, drive early morning and late night. better to use another car (Cayenne )

Finally: I love this car no matter it will do...

Ambient temperature is approx. 123F. That's a bit warm.

On the track on a day with 40 deg C (105 F) ambient temperatures, I've seen similar coolant temperatures and even hotter oil temperatures. Never on the street, however.

I'm curious... Are you running STANDARD coolant mix or have you moved to a more HOT ENVIRONMENT mix for coolant... Wetter Water or something since you obviously have zero risk for a freeze over?

Standard coolant for me, thinking of changing to water wetter ahead of new track season given my spin last month. But not sure if WW is snake oil or not, guess that's another thread.
