You're gauges should start at about 50 degrees C? (120F) is the needle moving?

to reach 110 degrees C after a spirited run sounds right, and would normally reside around 95 degrees C is normal driving.

Only showing 1.7bar oil pressure is low but passable on idle, but you should be hitting around 6bar (87psi) under load.
