    I don't know if a topic about this has already been started.

    GTE cars engine temperature not working properly.
    I noticed that GTE cars have a problem with the temperature of oil and water in the engine.
    when you leave the pit, the temperature is above 70C. Track temp. is about 29C. as you drive around the track, the temperatures start to drop. Water temp. drops to about 40C, oil about 60C.
    No matter of how you set "Water radiator cover" and "Oil radiator cover" in setup.
    In P class it still somehow works.

    I don't know if the problem is in the "engine cooling parameters" and if it is being worked on?

    SOLVED with today's hotfix:

    A new hotfix build update has been released for the main, public branch of rFactor 2:

    Dedicated Server: 9944759

    -Fixed Track Limits pass timer being reset to 5s when going off track.
    -Fixed Track Limits penalties not scoring/penalizing when you finish the race/session.
    -Removed subtracting laps in some situations when penalties are not served before end of race.
    -Less strict Track Limits in wet conditions
    -Require cars to travel at 80% opposed to 66% of racing speed to penalize off track passes.
    -Added “Admin” message center mode which will report all penalties awarded and served in message center and chat boxes.
    -Fixed fenders not activating when they should.
    -Fixed TC settings not being adjustable in car.
    -Fixed oil & water not heating up enough from engine.

    I can confirm that now the engine temp is working.
    but I would say rather slow effect on the engine.
    I tested;
    GTE Ferrari
    Monza
    damage multiplier 100%
    sunny dry
    ambient temp 48C,
    track temp 54C,
    Water radiator cover 100%
    Oil radiator cover 100%

    after about 15 minutes of driving, the engine temperature slowly increased to 130C and the red light came on, but I was not tested until the engine exploded because it went very slowly.

    I think that the effect of temperature on the engine should be increased, so that the cooler could be managed better. and use all radiator cover settings from no tape, 25%, 50% 75% to 100%.
