Has anybody experienced fuel starvation when under 3/4 tank during long sustained loading left hand turns? If this is not common and just an issue with my car, ideas on why? 2015 GTPP
 
We had some issues with the S197's with fuel starvation but it was usually at 1/4 tank or below. Is this happening on a race track? Your car is under warranty so have your dealer check it out.

At Daytona going into the Bus Stop, NASCAR 2, at around 1/2 tank I would fuel starve. That is the only place I haven't been able to run to 1/4 tank.

Yes. I get it it at Atlanta Motorsports Park. It's a fuel pickup issue. Sai Li (I think that's the spelling) makes a $900 GT350 fuel pump kit that should fix it. Tank baffles do not fix it, don't bother.
 
Yes, on a track. I just find it very weird that it hasn't been discussed more given that it occurs with such a full tank. The exact corner is at 5:59 within the below video (not my car). Nothing particulary exciting, just a double apex opening radius with some bumps and curbs to move the car around. Tried several different lines but result was the same.
