i deleted a video that shows the hesitation, should have put it up.

you only use half a tank in a track day? i average 6 to 7 mpg at the track.

the starvation happens on long continuous right hand turns

On my first time out I forgot to switch off VDC and on exiting several turns there would be hesitation until traction was regained.

It's a very pronounced problem from what I've seen. Its a sweeping right turn that causes it for me, and I can't use the gas for as long as 20-30 seconds, with it kicking in for maybe 1-2 second bursts randomly.
