Does the F4R engine suffer from Oil surge when using slicks on track?

[Timmyevo6]

Perhaps you were low on oil

I have several wins in British GT and many other championships. I have also driven several clio cup race cars.
:rasp:

woah

I know the guy who looks/looked after the renaultsport engines, only a few from memory died from oil starvation, and it was debatable "what" caused it

You still run them today in 2011, My mini would not make it round the 1st corner with out one. O and its much quicker than my 172 to.

I like your mini, it looks like its wearing a Fez

If you want piece of mind just fit a baffled sump. Maybe it will save the engine or maybe its not needed but if you are going to pansy round the corners due to worry then you need it..

"how many of you guys that state the clio doesn't suffer from surge actually work for clio cup race teams during the mk2 era? how many of you guys bang a clio pinned through coram in 4th while the car want to exit stage left?"

I work with TCR's old clio team manager Lez, does that make me more or less qualified to comment??? You should have run propper racing cars, we had dry sumps and no oil surge problems
Might have a complete dry sump set up available soon if anybody is interested???!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

the mk2 cup racers had dry sumps? come again

theres about 50 dry sump kits kicking about for the F4Rs

The propper racing cars from the Renault Sport range come with dry sumps..........single seaters - I am biased!!!!

I was refering to the old spec Tatus Formula Renault 2.0 cars. We still got an engine sitting in our storage container with a genuine Renault Sport sump and pump brackets etc after we sold our cars last year. Just taking up space and no use to us Im sure the boss would be quite happy to get rid for cash!!!!!

This has been discused a lot on here, from what I can remember people are saying that the pickup is designed for a longitudinal application but not so good for transverse.
