"Keeping an eye on the temps" one of those temp gauges the oil temp is as 'bout as handy as tits on a bull! The damage will've been done long before you get much of a reaction from the gauge.
And when you consider the pluming distance and number joints between the engine and radiator, the coolant gauge is of limited use in a sudden loss of coolant scenario.
With a mid engine layout and all those hoses, pipes and joints there is a much greater risk of a sudden loss of coolant than with a conventionally laid out car.
The temp sensor needs to be immersed in coolant to work, and when there is no coolant around the sensor, it can't send reliable input to the the gauge, which means, yet again the damage is done without the gauge registering a high temp!
And as "for driving it correctly" that what the worlds most boring car is for: the Toyota Camry is for (even the red ones are beige) Sportscars are for ragging!
