Car will not see track/race duties. Approaching summer in Australia now..where daytime temps can rise to around 110F.
When it comes to Red Line, you're probably fine running the 0W-20. RL has a high HTHS, and high kinematic viscosity at 100C, so it will behave like the next thicker viscosity oil. Dezoris has a few good uoa's on the 0W-20 in a supercharged/tracked application.

Actually, you probably don't need the 0W in your summer temps. Probably just go with the 5W-20.
