Baffled Sump?

Does anyone know if the i30N has a baffle in the sump (or anything else) to prevent oil starvation for track days? I have seen a fair few members gearing up for track days but no mention of any sump mods or concerns around oil starvation..

I have to make correction to my first post - I am now not 100% sure anymore. Made deeper investigation and I will get final answer soon.

No oil pan baffles in any Hyundai engine.

Oil pan baffling is not required for track day racing in the US. I'm not sure about European track day rules but I wouldn't think so.

You'll find it hard to dry sump or oil starve, the oil pump on any transverse 4-cylinder. The only way it might happen is if you've under-filled by 2 quarts. Additionally, you're not moving oil around enough in the pan to cause a problem. Keeping in mind, it's viscous. You're not moving with enough force to cause this problem.
