UOA Castrol Edge 0W40-Track day

Here is UOA of Castrol Edge 0W40 in my N52 (2011 328).
5,000 miles on oil.
There are two UOA on this sheet. Right one is Castrol Edge 0W30. No track use just a lot of daycare runs aggressive drivibg in the Rockies to ski.
Left is 0W40. Daycare runs, groceries and 47 laps at the High Plains Raceway. Track is at 5,000ft altitude and ambient temperature was 96-102f which gives air density around 11,000ft. Huge cooling challenges, but I do run oil cooler from 335. I managed to do one session for 1 1/2hrs and for last 40-50min was alone on the track.
This is perfect example that oils like this are perfectly fine on the track and there is no need to go 10W60 or similar weights. Or some speciality oils. I will do test 300V to see how it compares.

Do you know of a VOA for this oil? I found one on BITOG, but it's over 5 years old and I think it's not made in Germany any longer:

Both are made in Belgium but current one is thinner. VOA of the one you cited is previous version with KV100 13.5cst. Current typical value is 13.1.
I might fo VOA of this oil. I still have some in the jug.
