He rolled off the tread onto the sidewall. Doesn't seem like he knows how to manage tire pressure.
I wouldn't expect a car of this nature to see much movement in coolant temps at the track.

Beats me, if you read the whole thread it sounds like the guy is no stranger to road courses.
It would be nice, however, if he stopped referring to HPDEs as racing, lol.

It was prudent by the driver to slow it down to let the car cool down, but are we to assume that he had not slowed down that the car would not go into a limp mode? Is the higher reading considered normal? Like in the C5Z, going over the halfway mark especially in stop and go traffic is normal because the high speed fans don't kick in until about 230 degrees at which point it's already over the halfway mark, so is that normal for the CTR?

The owner's manual shows that the message "Stop Driving When Safe. Engine Temperature Too Hot" appears when then engine coolant temperature gets abnormally high.

If you read the whole thread, he said it hit three lines below max indicated on the gauge. He's CALLING it overheating the but car didn't go into limp mode nor did it shut down. Overheating would generally be indicated by the engine pulling power to protect itself.
He slowed down because he was worried, not because the car indicated he needed to slow down.
He really put a beating on those front tires, though! Wow! Gonna be tough to escape that kind of punishment at the track on a FWD car.

It could be anything, really. As others pointed out, maybe he has his tires at the wrong pressure. Or maybe he was overdriving the car. Or maybe it's just really hard on tires because of the lack of front camber (stock). Or maybe a combination of the above, plus a lot of heat. Tracking at 90F+ is pretty tough on tires!

Or maybe those front tires got worn out from braking, steering, and accelerating. But FWD is just as good as RWD so what am I saying.
