Too hot at the track!

My 996 Turbo is getting too hot at HPR today! Its not overheating but its getting hot and blinking at me. What do you guys do to get better cooling to your motor?

Your coolant temp is high? Do you have enough in there?

it might be the fan in the deck lid failing.

It's not likely the fan, in fact several people run TT's within the fan

you have an air pocket in your cooling system.... When was it serviced and how? Vacuum method, or just adding coolant?

Hmm, the last time the cooling was serviced was a couple of years ago when I had all the coolant lines on the back and top of the motor replaced while everything was out for a lw flywheel/clutch replacement.
