I haven't heard of that happening to any of the Kumho race cars...mine included, but I would suggest you give Dave Kear a call on 01708640360. Dave has been prepping many car in the Kumho for a number of years and is a mine of information! I haven't heard of an off the shelf baffled sump, but I'd be interested to know if you find out anything!

I have my car on the track (bitumen and dirt) a bit and I haven't had any problems. It isn't a full race car but with the lower stiffer springs, Koni dampers, and some fairly gripy tyres (Toyo R1R), it generates a bit of g-force.
