Hmm, what track and ambient temps have you seen close to 300F? FWIW I go to New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Palmer Motorsports Park, Thompson Speedway, Watkins Glen, and Mont Tremblant. Hottest days at Thompson, ~95F. 987.2 2.9 Cayman would overheat after a few laps, but the BRZ ('17 gen1) has always held at 200F coolant, 275F oil.
