What about a ballvalve? or possibly a valve that can be opened by cable from inside? like a heater tap?.
If you had one on the return, you could close it seperating sump from the catch can when your on the track. Open it back up when its not running in the pits so oil can return.
Like cambo1 suggested, its the crankcase pressure stopping oil returning from can->sump, you literally have crankcase pressure coming from r/c covers and from sump meeting at the can where oil is sitting, with a ballvalve can->sump would be totally seperate.
The breathers/small filters used on most catch cans becoming blocked with oil as suggested makes sense also and wouldnt help with the situation..
