The spark timing might be too advanced. At high temperatures and RPM an advanced spark might cause preignition, and engine knock. That's only likely to happen if the engine is modified though.

Other than that, check the air and fuel filters are clean, as the harder the engine has to work the more a clean flow of both is important.
