ditto on fuel starvation... it happens to me *every* time I'm at the track and approaching anything less than 3/4 of a tank... always in right hand turns... i've had the engine completely shut down a couple times and have managed to coast off track let the car sit a few minutes then get things started again with no signs of problems thereafter

3/4 or 1/4? I hope you didn't mean 3/4!

Unfortunately, yes, 3/4. I've had fuel cut-off / starvation with only 3-4 "dots" from a full tank. When you pull 1G right hand turn for more than ~3-4 seconds it is enough to deplete the fuel surrounding the pickup point at the fuel pump in the tank.

There is another thread started recently to discuss this issue and potential solutions. Would be helpful for us all to go there and post.
