Eco-Lite just means that it's formulated to "standard" specification, which is fine for road use or especially in my sort of situation-- my oil will be lucky to have 900km on it before it gets changed again. You don't want to use it for race purposes-- but a quick note, blasting a winding road, then driving home, is -not- a race application. Eco-Lite is fine for perfomance motors, just don't cook it day in day out (can't do that in Australia anyway unless you like your car impounded...) The 300V and the H are high-RPM suitable. Which would be nice, but our cars aren't high-RPM.
EDIT; Also, "fun days" at racetracks aren't racing. You've got plenty of time cooling off when you can't pass idiots who can't corner and you're also unlikely to put the stresses on it that a real race driver would. Plus it's longer lasting than race oil anyway-- which provides better protection but breaks down faster (Less lifespan, more lubrication, like castor oil)
