As well as GP racer's multimilion sponsorships, CEO's gigantic bonuses etc.

Fighting friction is only half the story when it comes to oil.. film thickness and visosity temp range are far more importent to protecting it from going bang!
Couldn't agree more. Good, expensive, oil is good enough for all the bikes and cars I've seen. All the extra aditives have turned out to be snake oil. Good engines will run and run and run on just good oil changed regularly and warmed up before full throttle.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
