Default Anyone overheated an A8 at the track?

Curious if anyone has overheated the A8 at the track yet?

If so, have you solved it, or are you interested in a new solution?

. I was at Spring Mtn Jan 25 and 26th. They addressed this in Q & A. They said in 100 degree Las Vegas summer temps, instructors drove the wheels off every A8 car they have and were NOT able to get any of them to overheat.

Also I believe GM did a straight 24 hr stress test at VIR & while doing so set a new lap record with a A8 ZR1
