My opinion is that if a ventilation system can keep temps stable and below the ACO's prescribed max, it shouldn't be an issue if you run AC or not.

But this can only be a problem if the ACO lets it. I'm well aware of the horror stories of Le Mans in 2000 and '05 and Texas Motor Speedway in '00. But we also have to remember that almost everyone managed conditions at LM in '06 (nearly as hot as this year, 2000 and 2005) and COTA in '13.

I'm actually more worried about LMP1 cars making it to the end mechanically and electronically before their drivers give out.
