It should, no? A thermostat is essentially a variable valve which allows a partial amount of coolant to reloop the block to maintain its temperature. The more the thermostat is opened, the more 'hot' coolant is diverted to the radiator, which reduces the temps.

Not sure how you could possibly be running at thermostat open temp on track though. Unless you're racing somewhere that is very chilly

You mean someplace very warm?
But yeah that's the gist - the only variable now is that how much cooling capacity of the radiator is left. Probably can be calculated with some math but I'm going with the stock tune to infer - I added it to the previous post but both fans only turn on at 103C.
