Racing laps provide good data for developing formulas but I'm not sure how well that information translates directly to day-to-day driving with significant hot to cold down cycles. I think you asked these questions before, and it appears we did not adequately answer them for you.
Here's a site that could be useful to anyone wanting to get the bottom line on automotive lubrication. IMO they are very trustworthy, but like anything else you'll need to find the middle ground you are comfortable with. Although the site can be extremely technical, they strongly advocate taking periodic fluid samples to obtain lab test to determine the correct schedule based on your style of driving. IMO this is key to separating fact from fiction.
