Boxer engines don't turn left well and have oil starvation problems. The g-force on the oval stops the oil from draining back down.
Not entirely true, the engine is setup to do just that, with an air oil separator and drainback. The biggest problem that evening was due to other reasons. Read the report in this section and see what actually happened. There was no oil starvation problem, the data logs from the standalone shows good oil pressure throughout. The biggest problem was heat evacuation and due to other factors. Hey Jen, you know what they say about "Ass U Ming" eh. LOL
Jon,
No worries, there will be lots of options for us to play next year. You should come out to Solosprints and have a great time with us on the big track like Mosport, Shanonville, Calabogie, or even a private track we make at Picton Airfield. You'll have a blast.
