Just took the corsa out for a run with my mate is his punto GT, coming out of a tight roundabout (doing a 180 turn) went in and out of the roundabout quite quick, and on the way out BIG BIG cloud of smoke   . Was giving it a bit of stick but not thrashing it. Now i'm really worried  . Anybody got any idea why it has done it ??
Cheers Chris

due to the fact that the engine is starved of oil

Ahh Chris, dont worry too much about it. As the others said its an oil surge. I used to get it when REALLY booting it around corners (especially tight right-handers). Due to G-Force oil sloshes about in the sump and gets pulled upto the head & burnt.
I've posted before about it on here (have a look) as I was really worried when it happend to me. Options are weld baffles into the sump, breather mod or fit a catch tank. TBH I used to live with it and not treat the roads too much like a track LOL.
