Here's one UOA of Sustina 0W-20 on a tracked FR-S in Florida:

But TGMO 0W-20 is almost as good and of course is cheaper and more easily available.
For track use when oil temp's can get very high, the solution is not a heavier grade but to install an oil cooler. That's always the preferred solution for many reason. The positive effects of installing an oil cooler in a FR-S/BRZ was mentioned in the Sustina UOA.
