Has anybody ever autocrossed without a deep oil sump and not had a problem with oil starvation? Due to a parts combination, I may have to lose mine, but I won't do so if it's gonna cost me an engine. I've got an external oil cooler so I've got plenty of capacity, but I just don't want it to starve under side loads. Asking for the benefit of others' years of experience. Thanks.
