The standard practice is to run windows in without sealing rubbers in the dry and only to fit the rubbers in the wet.
Having done quite a lot of high speed testing over quite long distances, and explored what is happening to windows as a result of the external air flows, I would run with windows in place whenever possible. It is worth paying particularly close attention to the door mirrors, and handles.

For those with window nets what are you using ? I have a Schroth setup on my 993tt. No welding needed. I'd like to not weld tabs onto the cup cage if possible

I've seen them used before...apparently quite works well. The downside is you look like a giant sperm. I find the cool shirt + helmet blower works fine to keep me cool. My ice will run out after ~60 mins in a hot enduro...would be better if I could find block ice.

I have the Fast cool suit sytem with the larger 24 qt. cooler in the passenger side with blower. The blower I thought was worthless as it really just blows ambient temps. It also radiates the cooler so I closed it up to make my ice last longer. A block works better than cubes by the way. Mine will last for an hours or more.

I ran this weekend at Buttonwillow without the windows for the first time. I really liked hearing both my car and the surrounding cars. Without looking I could tell when the 2 RSR's on the track were coming up behind me.....
As for cooling, I noticed it mostly in the pits or on grid. There didn't seem to be a lot of wind coming into the cabin at speed and I never felt any buffeting. I wish I had removed them sooner....
