Oil temps when drifting

General

I have my first drift event in a month and I’m worried about my oil temps. From what I’ve seen online past 220f gets dangerous for oil pressure. Obviously oil weights play a factor. But just 2 minutes of 1st gear donuts and figure eights and my oil temps are just about 220. My concern is at the track I’ll be sitting on grid between laps getting no airflow after a lap. Anyone that drifts their rx8 have methods of keeping the oil temps down when on track?
