Why do some competition clutch assembles operate in an oil bath?

Some competition clutch assemblies operate in an oil bath to enhance lubrication and cooling, which helps to manage the high temperatures generated during aggressive driving and racing conditions. The oil reduces friction between clutch components, improving durability and performance under extreme stress. Additionally, an oil bath can help maintain consistent clutch engagement and disengagement, providing better control and feel for the driver. This design is particularly beneficial in high-performance applications where reliability and performance are critical.
