You should look beyond the numbers on the bottle when comparing oil. The high kinematic viscosity and HTHS of Motul 300V has more in common with Mobil 1 0W40 than Mobil 1 5W30.

If you track the car, use an oil that meets the same specs as the above 0W30. ACEA A3 oils are more likely to stay in grade and be more resistant to shear than a GF5 0W30.
