Word of advice - after running laps BEFORE you lose a lot of speed (eg: rolling into the pits or safety areas) put your HVAC on HIGH HEAT and put the fans on FULL.
The car draws air across the hot engine to heat it up going into the cabin and it will help cool off your car faster. It will make you uncomfortable but you can sweat it out with the car.
Also, an oil cooler is definitely needed if heavy track use is a possibility.

Wait you're saying this car has not heater core with coolant by pass hoses supplying heated water for the heater?
