Sport + cooling mode in sport mode.

I'm just looking to see if it is possible to code the sport + cooling mode to engage while in sport mode.

If you drive the car hard, it starts to cool itself in the same manner as it does in sport+ all the time.

My car is not overheating. There are some characteristics of sport + I don't like while on the track. So I thought it might be easier to adapt the features I do like about sport + to sport and be content.

Still wondering why you would need this. I've tracked mine in 100 degree weather in sport mode (my go to setting on track) and I've never had the engine get even close to over heating.

I'd rather have the temperature down before heat soak settles (from what I read the intercooler system also runs at full speed). In addition I'm not to crazy about being so close to 250 oil temps, unless the gauge isn't accurate, I haven't seen a logged temperature tho.
