Default Fuel cut before redline

Hi,

I'm currently at snetterton. When in accelerating in 3rd gear I am getting fuel cut just before 6k rpm. I am fine in all other gears, I'm letting the car cool off and then I'll check fluids and have another session to see if it is still doing it.

has anyone experienced this or similar? Any advice is welcome.

Thanks.

Just went down to below a 1/4 on the last session where it started happening, I'll fill up after lunch then and see how it goes, I'm normally in 3rd gear through bends so there will be a few g's pushing the fuel back.

hopefully your right.
