Default Scheaffer oil question

I've been using Rotella T6 for quite a while now, and I'm always adding more....the joys of owning a high-mileage MS3. Anyway I was wondering if anyone has experience with Schaeffer oil products? My friend recommended it, and after some quick online research it looks like a good product. Also, what would be better, 5W-40 or the 5W-50 (racing oil)? I drive pretty hard; ok REALLY hard.

I dont think its worth upgrading, Rotella is a very good oil. Racing oils arent designed for street use, they typically have lower detergent levels and have higher zinc and phosphorus which clog catalytic converter.

I used Schaeffer on my last car (port injected V6) but the Rotella T6 works really well on direct injected turbocharged cars.
