Now available in F1... and in stores! That's pretty neat, although I can't imagine that a street car has similar enough characteristics to an F1 car?

At the first race on the Formula 1 schedule, Cosworth announced that LiquidCosworth will be a 2006 sponsor of Scuderia Toro Rosso. LiquidCosworth is the engineering company's lubricants and specialty fluids division.
Scuderia Toro Rosso's drivers include Scott Speed (the first U.S. Formula 1 driver since Michael Andretti in 1993), Vitantonio Liuzzi, and Neel Jani. Their STR1 racecars are powered by Cosworth V-10 TJ engines built to 2006 specs and are lubricated with Cosworth Performance Engineered Motor Oil SAE 0W-20. (Preparations are underway to make this particular viscosity grade available to all automotive enthusiasts within the next month at www.liquidcosworth.com.) The Cosworth TJ engine proved to be one of the most reliable F1 engines on the grid during 2005 and these attributes of performance and reliability are embodied in the motor oil's formulation.
Cosworth Performance Engineered Motor Oil adds further luster to the performance genius of Cosworth, and provides an additional “first” – the simultaneous introduction of a new performance product, its use in the elite and competitive state of Formula 1 racing in its inaugural year, and the commercial offering of the exact same product to consumers for use in their cars, whether on the road or track. The product re-emphasizes that the optimization of lubricants and fluids is essential in attaining maximum engine advantage.

At $8.50 a litre, that crap better leave the inside of the cylinders gold plated.
