How much fuel do u have? lol... if u had less than 1/4, it's possible the angle of the car caused a shortage of fuel.

I've had this MANY times..

its definate fuel, if ya goin fast enough and turn hard enough all fuel goes to one side of tank. no fuel makes engine cut out. happens to me all the time goin thru S bends.

Traction and/or trace control.

Fuel pressure in fuel lines and amount of fuel in fuel rail means fuel delivery not affected by fuel momentarily moving away from pickup in tank while cornering or braking.

Sounds like fuel pickup to me, even in the Ralliart with a baffled fuel tank you can't drive it to it's full cornering potential when u have less than 1/4 of a tank...on the track that is...

10 out of 10 for the drawing lol. Fuel starvation is annoying, esp. when you take dealer cars out for a test drive, take a corner too hard and the car conks out :roll:.
