Yea, one thing I always hated about autocrossing the 914 was seeing the oil pressure light pop on in long hard turns. If they set up a 360 or even a 180 turn, it would light up. I do love the 911 dry sump, and 14 quart oil system. A regular oil change is just 11 quarts unless you bother to flush the oil cooler lines to the front of the car.
We have been know to set up the skid pad and then do multiple laps in the circle. That is hard to keep it right at the limit, and not spin, or drift out too far.
