Once you see it marching up just back off for a lap and the temp will come down fairly quickly. Big ass radiator is next on my list.
I saw power drop off (timing pulled) every time coolant got above 190f on the dyno.

I'm not saying 210 isn't fine, but I personally saw my car pull 2-3 degrees the second the coolant ticked over 190.
