I wouldn’t use race cars as a measure of oil value.
First the operating conditions are totally different. Good example - cold starts - race cars have the oil warmed with electric heaters before starting - your car starts in 20 below.
And second, the stuff race cars use is custom blended.

They argue about oil molecules like we argue over free trade LOL.
I've spent too much time there over the years.
I agree about racecar oil being different. But it will come out if race teams are trusting the new oil. The cold start and detergent additives are easy to include. It's the friction protection that interests me.
Also, I'll be watching to see if Mercedes approves?
