The root cause is using the engine outside the parameters the designers 
catered for.  Is it 'just' a case of baffling the sump to create a number of 
chambers, with only small holes between them to increase the time it takes 
for all the oil to end up at one end (or side) of the pan under high G 
forces?

This Google search lists lots of sites that discuss this, the 3rd one down 
being for a Rover V8.
