Serious track guys will need to move to the 600 or 660.

Motul is very good, but there are a couple of others also worth considering.

Chris, please continue with other brands worth looking into. I would fall into the category you described that 5.1 will suit well. Thanks in advance

Great thread and good info. Very informative ChrisB! I also would like to know what types of fluids I can get off the shelf. I would be just using it for street use. You mentioned Castrol in a previous post. Anything else?

I would choose between Motul DOT 5.1 (currently using) and Castrol (don't remember the model, but it has a little bit higher boiling point than Motul)

I wouldn't use RBF600 or 660, as they have to be changed every 6 months (RBF600) or 3 months (RBF660).
