On the recent PH S2000 Buyers Guide I noticed a couple of comments about the risk of oil surge on track days. Is this a real issue I should be concerned about or something that only applies to modified cars with lowered suspension and track day tyres pulling more g than I would ever get in a standard spec car? I do fancy the odd track day but not at the expense of a wrecked engine! My approach to track driving is to only do a few laps at a time and to let everything cool down before having another go but oil surge is something else. A fraction of a second of no oil pressure at 9000rpm would be a disaster!
