Default "Integrated" Dry Sump, any oiling starvation?

I'm tracking my 997.2 TTS a lot more frequently nowadays (probably 10-15 track days in the last year) and getting faster. I'm probably going to get the Tractive coilobers and some Trofeo R's next. As I get faster I just wanted to hear from other track guys whether there has been any reported problems of oil starvation with the "integrated" dry sump aka fake dry sump on this car?

There are a few guys with the 991TT chassis tracking it, and from what I hear its a non issue. Definitely seems to be improved over the junky m96/m97 integrated bull**** sump.

Some of the gt3s had issues, but haven't heard about any turbos yet.

So 997.1TT's integrated sump is junk?

no. the M96/M97 is the wet sump NA motor. Substantial oiling issues during track work.

the 7.1 turbo has the dry sump race bred oiling system.

tracking is most likely ok, but if a lot there are better choices...with a true dry sump
