Not all long sweepers are the same. You aren't entering the carousel as the first turn off the straight away after having just spent 10 seconds topping out 5th gear... It is plausible that spending a lot of time at high rpm can reduce the oil volume available in the pan. There is the chicane that slows you down and gives oil a few seconds to drain back to the pan before you toss the car into the sweeper.
Oil starvation is an issue for pretty much every street car in existence that didn't come with provisions to prevent starvation. LS, VQ, N5x/N2x , EJ, and plenty of other "great" tuning engines have massive threads documenting oil starvation when turning.
