This oil loss is part of the reason(but not the main one) why racing engines are mostly dry sumped. They will go through a lot of oil during a race and need a fairly large tank.

i'm not positive but i'm pretty sure the only reason why is so they can maintain positive oil pressure during extrema cornering, breaking, and acceleration.

For oil starvation due to cornering forces, etc., most would simply use an accumulator, like the Accusump, which sholves the problems at a lower cost, but doesn't get the old oil pan out of the way.
