Can't tell anything about their installations as I haven't seen it, but I would be
surprised if there was no way to cool the oil with an oil cooler. Do we have any
specifications for the equipment used and how it was mounted? The fact that
it didn't work might not mean it can't be done, but I don't find it worthwhile to
sort out myself as I don't have any use for more oil cooling than what I have.
I really don't like unnecessary equipment on the car.
If I was to do anything to my car these days it would be to rebuild the entire
frame rear end, and in such case the entire bottom would be blocked by a
diffuser. Then I have a totally different aero situation which would be more fun
to solve. My present experience is from our tracks in Sweden, which certainly
is not WOT for 2 hours. But I did get the oil temperature down using an oil
cooler under our conditions.

My dear friend Goran,
These fan equiped air to oil coolers just do not get the job done at high
RPMS at WOT....
Both Greg Sullivan and Mike Anderson tried dedicated fans and ducted
air at open road races and they did NOT made 5 degrees of difference.
