996 Cup Radiator Fans

Does the 996 cup have fans on the side radiators like the street 996?

Fans at speed inhibit airflow through radiator and into wheel well for brake cooling...

So removing them on my 996 racer would be a plus. I have the cup (not X51) center radiator so I should be good for cooling if the cup is.

Just need to be careful. Might overheat when driving slow, sitting not moving (on grid), or yellow behind other cars. Need to watch, or have dash with alarms set. Overall a plus to remove.

I have the factory temp gauge and I usually shut down on grid anyway. Sounds like I have a plan for next weekend.
