If you are seeing that during non-track logging, you will not last 2-3 hot laps on track.
The problem with a laminova on this car is it relies on the radiator to cool the oil and as MrC has pointed out the radiator does not get much airflow on this car.
With the laminova, as the oil climbs past 240-250, it brings the coolant temps up with it. Most agree that anything above 230F coolant is risking lifting the head.
