I don't know what to choose for track between 300V 5W30 and 5W40. Here's the specs :

300 V Power
5W-40

Oil for gasoline and Diesel 4 stroke engine
BIODEGRADABLE
100% Synthetic - Ester based
TYPEOFUSE
All types of gasoline and Diesel engines. Turbocharged or not.
All 4 stroke engines : turbocharged or not, multivalve, carburettor or injection system,
with or without catalytic converter.
Suitable for all types of fuel : leaded and unleaded gasoline, gasoil, LPG.
All types of use : racing, circuit, Road and off road rally, in town, road, motorway.
PERFORMANCES
Références SUBARU WRT
Exceeds standards : API SG / CD
CEC L-33-A-93 Biodegradability test.
Protects the environment. Contains biodegradable Esters from vegetable origin.
Very high lubricating power which decreases friction and wear.
Decreases fuel and oil consumption.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Oil change: according to manufacturers' requirements and according to your own use.
MOTUL 300V POWER can be mixed with synthetic or mineral lubricants.
PROPERTIES
Colour Visual Green
Viscosity grade SAE J 300 5W-40

TBN ASTM D 2896 11.5 mg KOH/g

300 V Power Racing
5W-30

Oil for High Performance 4 stroke engine
Designed for professional of racing
100% Synthetic - Ester based
TYPEOFUSE
Hill climbing, qualifying tests, monotype races, N group...
Engines causing a very low oil dilution by the fuel.
All circuit races, rallyes,...

using standard or unleaded fuel, gasoil, L.P.G..
PERFORMANCES
References HONDA MUGEN - OSELLA ALFA ROMEO ...
Exceeds standards API SH / CF
Ester synthetic bases and the specific anti-friction additivation allow to increase significantly the oil
resistance film, to reduce frictions in the engine, to maintain the oil pressure, and generally to decrease
working temperature.
Extreme resistance against coking at high temperature.
Provides a better oil circulation, easier revs-up, a very efficient cooling.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Oil change: according to manufacturers' requirements and according to your own use.
MOTUL 300V POWER RACING can be mixed with synthetic or mineral lubricants.

Why?

Agreed, 5w30 is the correct viscosity for normal roadcar useage.  But differing compromises may be needed for track useage.
