Moving along with track prep and it is time for me to make a decision on a baffled oil pan. I am torn between the GPan3 and the TOC V1.1 of which both are comparable in price. Given the experience of this group, I did some searching and didn’t find a comparison so I started this thread. I have added the detailed descriptions below. Give me your thoughts!

The gPAN3 is a must if you track your Lotus. This is a direct replacement for your stock pan and will make oil starvation a thing of the past. A heavily-baffled cavity reduces vertical oil slosh. Additionally, the pan has been tweaked for clearance to ease wishbone removal. Oil sensor port has been relocated to the front of the pan to reduce wiring. Optional Turbo oil return port ($45) can be added. The simple, high-quality and beautifully welded gPAN3 is track-focused and easy to install. Works with the stock windage tray and stock dip stick and comes with detailed installation instructions. Data proven performance on track!
