Dry sump is an expensive affair!

If you are racing professionally and see more than 1.0G's then it is a necessity. On a street/track car using R-compound tires, you will not even need that.

Interesting nonetheless, but I get annoyed when people try to mock-build a racecar without actually utilizing the parts for race.

As Mike Lozano says, "Everybody races on a budget, it's just that some are bigger than others!"
