I can't speak to its use for racing, but I swear by this stuff.  I used in i=
n my street TR4A for years and any vehicles I've owned that ran a little hot=
, etc.

Red Line Synthetic Oil - WaterWetter=C2=AE Coolant Additives

Interested to hear others on it especially relative to racing.

I did own a TR8 for a few months.  I recall it ran hot and it frustrated the=
 hell out of me in general.  (Water Wetter wasn't on the market then.)   I s=
craped my knuckles one too many times under that hood.  It was so cramped co=
mpared to my prior TR7 and TR4A.  I decided it wasn't did me!  So I never di=
scovered why if was running hot.  (All street cars)
