A V6 ought to have less need than a V8 for a catch can specifically because a 60° V angle will drain oil out of the outboard-side valve covers/cam covers better in the corners than a 90° V angle. Not considering cornering roll, at 1.0g laterally, one bank of a V8 will not drain at all. A V6 would need to be at 1.7g. In real life where you have to consider cornering roll, those g numbers would be roughly 10% and 15% lower, respectively.
