I think most race cars use a thinner oil to develope more HP. The thinner oil (with less viscosity)has less drag on the spinning parts. This lets the revolving parts spin easier and make more HP. The down side is they have to rebuild their motors more often due to high operating temps and more wear from the thinner oil. The last thing we want is more motor repairs,right ! Cheers Derek
