At that point, the temperature began to get dangerously close to the “H” before I was able to complete the full lap, although it would have been a decent hot lap. I dialed it back to coasting speeds, blasted the heater and cruised around in fourth gear in hopes of allowing the car to drop in temperature but it wasn’t working. I gave up my efforts for that session and limped back into the pits to see what we could have done wrong to have caused the car to overheat.
