We looked at the bearings and other moving parts and they still looked fresh, considering the car went through a number of track days and autox during hotter months.

DE engine always need a thicker oil..i have an HR.

thanx.. but am not willing to spend that much.. plus in open track days i wont push the car for more than one lap (1 minute 20 sec) and then rest at lease 30 minutes.

I wouldnt over think it too much. Mobil1 0w40 will be fine. If youre worried, try it for a weekend or two and send it in to blackstone for analysis. Otherwise youre just listening to fan boys recommending x over y.
