I fitted an Accusump to the car to control oil surge, but its not actually kicked in as the pressure has never dropped that low So a rather expensive and heavy backup system. Whether it would drop low on a trackday, I couldn't say.
Yes, Accusump are very good devices, sorry for you it never had to work, but it was wise to put this security in the first place
It is rather a good news for me that you say you engine never suffered any oil surge, and as I don't plan to go on tracks with my roadster, I will certainly shorten my sump in the same way as you did. Very useful info for me.
Thank you very much for the reply
