Three different esters are used.

It's definitely triple the price of even some boutique oils.

Unless they reveal which esters and the percentage of each, it has little meaning. Pure marketing.

What Tom said.

If you call them, ask to speak to Danny. Nice guy. He will tell you that their oils are almost all ester based. He is pretty open to discussion about their oils. They are a niche product built to be overkill.

The VI's on those oils are low enough to probably give CATERHAM a seizure

Yes, they probably not only do not add ANY VIIs, but actually add ANTI-VIIs to the mix!!

(Actually, only the 0W-30 looks really bad as far as VI goes.)

Is this a good thing or bad think when it comes to protection for a motor used for racing?

 

[CATERHAM]

A high a VI as possible is always a good thing and in a race oil oil shear is not often present.
As daily driver pointed out the only oil with an especially low VI is the 0W-30 at 153.

What really bugs me about 4T bike oils generally is that rarely if ever are HTHSV spec's provided and with ester based oils you really nead to know that to get a handle on how thick or thin these oils really are.
