For AT, I don't know why anyone would put it in Park after a hot lap. Just leave it in N and apply the e-brake.

Never apply the e-brake after coming off the track and parking. The e-brake shoes can stick the their drum.

For the record, this is what the Nissan rep instructed me to do at the Nissan Performance Academy at COTA years ago. He said find a flat spot (make sure car isn't rolling in N) and then lightly apply the e-brake

I've had a couple of instructors tell me not to use the e-brakes. There are a couple of different opinions it.
