There are lots of advantages , such as no surge/
Solid state oil/ more volume of oil/ more control of the oil/ total seal engine ( n/a ) / negative pre" in the engine/ oil does not climb the block on hard cornering / constant head of oil/ to name a few , bad side is it cost a lot to do it propper

bit overkill in a road car in my opinion mat gated big wing sump is fine for road and most race applications mate plus 1000's cheaper and you dont have a red hot tank of oil inside the car either lol
