GPL - Overheating oil

What can I do to stop my oil temp in the Eagle getting too high? I don't
short-shift, but perhaps I need to practice my gear changes more??

Once it starts getting high, what can I do to cool it during a race?

Set your gearing so that your revs never reach the redline.

Drive with low revs for a LONG time. It's very hard to get the oil temp
down once it's gone up.

HUH?
I never checked the oil temp.
What happens, if it gets too high?
