Default 328ti missing problems fuel???

in my compact 328ti i took around the track for first time yesterday and when i went round a corner flat out it seemed to be missing/ starved of fuel!

could this be because it had about 20ltrs of fuel in or because its running a stock 1.8 pump which couldnt keep up? or possibly a combination?

has anyone had this problem?

They all do that.
I find myself topping off the tank after almost every session.
I can't go more than 1/2 tank unless I slow down.

I do the same. Maybe not every session, but certainly whenever I get close to 1/2 tank...

It's possible to do dual pumps.
I can go 1 1/sessions on a little more than 1/2 tank depending on my rhythm, track conditions and traffic. Of course it also depends on the track.
