I recently went to a local Porsche club tech session given by the Chassis engineer of the Alex Job racing team..he said the Brad Penn oil is now in the same boat as everyone else regarding the gov't regulations of the ZDDP content and it was not recommended any longer. He was recommending a lubro moly 10w-60 product and is available thru some NAPA stores. When asked about leakage in air cooled cars he said there wasn't any unlike most synthetic oils.

Our local well known air cooled machinist likes the Valvoline racing mentioned here.

That's interesting to hear. I talked with one of the engineers at Brad Penn 2 weeks ago, and he said they hadn't changed anything...
