Baffles by themselves will not prevent oil starvation in an 986/987 running on track tires.
You will need supplemental equipment, such as an Accusump.

Deep sumps with baffles, especially mine, help but will not totally avoid oil starvation with R-compound tires.
I must note that a slow driver even with stickies may not cause oil starvation. We're talking very fast drivers on long, sustained sweepers that generate at least 1G lateral.
That's why you should supplement with an Accusump and then forget about the issue.
