I didn't know about the dry sump being required so thank you for the heads up. I definitely want to build the 818 for track use so its something I'll have to plan for.

A dry sump is cheaper than another engine build. That was my way of looking at it. Trust me, I know everyone has a budget and I got sold on the build your own Supercar killer for $15k marketing tactic. Some things are just best done right the first time. There is a reason OEM's have dry sumps on their high performance sports cars. Good Luck!
