Not unless you spend a lot of time on the track. Under normal circumstances the standard water/oil heat exchanger does the job fine.

In fact a standalone cooler is a pain in the butt as it results in increased time to operating temperature, unless you plumb in a temp controlled bypass valve. The extra capacity and pipework is also a pest when it comes to changing the oil.
