For something like the hyperdrive, can you get away without an oil cooler? I'm trying to avoid installing one until I'm sure I'm not going to run into oil consumption issues and not have it covered.

In my opinion you want to have the oil cooler before you go to the track. You don't necessarily HAVE to have one if you are going to do just a 25 minute Hyperdrive but others who went at various tracks without the oil cooler suffered "limp mode" due to high oil temps after a few laps. I made a point to have mine installed before and I never had to think twice. Just as important would be to have upgraded brake pads, brake fluid, and clutch fluid. The stock pads will work for a few laps but then fade and you definitely don't want your brakes fading or icing at VIR or Summit Point. With those items addressed, you are more than ready for a Hyperdrive event and/or HPDE.
