Default My water temp during hot track days goes up from middle 90deg (c) to 100deg (c)... is that normal?

it comes back to normal (mid) very quickly during cooldown lap?

Is this normal for track days or should I worry about thermostat, sensor, water pump?

Thanks

Default You're probably ok if it comes back down and doesn't do this during normal driving.

This is what it looks like when the WP or thermostat is shot.

2nd. Not out of the ordinary for the coolant temp needle to move a tick to the right while tracking.

Yup, that's normal. Cool down lap should bring it down.
