A swirl pot ensures that you have a constant supply of fuel and prevents the effect of surge from the fuel tank and thus fuel starvation.

But carbs have float chambers, which would negate the need for a swirl pot imo.

Rally Crossing, high curve velocity, blubbery empty fuel tank, highly moddified carb system, low and hard suspension are rare conditions so would have to have a lean engine. You will win the race would cause to have such conditions and so it will help.

It is of more use in motorsport on a carbed engine as you rightly say Thomas.
