Seems if you don't shift into 4th on the long straights it will overheat by the end of the fuel run. Will do more thorough test tomorrow if someone kindly lets us know what wear we are using.

Check your gearing ratio's, Make sure your not over reving the engine to much.

I tested it out and you should be fine, the overheating message it gives you while in 4th is false, believe me i tried to blow it up but it was fine.

Actually in 4th gear it's fine, if you leave it in 3rd it overheats.

I don't recall any issues during the event last year, and based on everything here it seems we should be ok.
