Racers. Do you worry about oiling issues, or do you just drive?

How many track days per year? Would you say that fear of an engine failure is the main reason you avoid running at a higher speed potential (sticky tires)? Or are there other considerations you consider important?

I did five track days last year, but only one this year.

There are two reasons I haven't gone to R-compound tires - I wanted to avoid the oil starvation trouble, and the cost. I'd have to get another set of wheels + the cost of the tires themselves.

What track do you run at in Norway?

I understand your reasoning. Thanks.
I mainly run at Rudskogen. It is mostely accelerating rights and stop-go lefts. One of the rights is high speed and severely off camber. Top speed braking while turning right down the steep hill, then hard acceleration back up the hill and into the S's. This is where I expect the problem to be worst.
