I am with you, but I usually don't go long enough for my car to get to 260F. To hit 260F+, I have to go balls to the wall for 3 or 4 straight laps. I have to say my tires and brakes will get too hot before I have to worry about the engine.
I ran 2 sec slower than the only GT-R I saw at VIR. I blame it on my 255F oil temp. I must have lost 150HP with the high temp compare to my 180F on the street.
The ones who preach about how much high oil temp hurts are probably the same people who tell us VDC only slows you down if you are not a smooth driver
