I'm speculating but if they raced with it in the engine then, yeah, it probably ended up badly. Mobil 1 is not a racing oil. Redline, Amsoil and Royal Purple sell racing oils. I think Mobil even has a line of racing oils.
I have attached one of the best summaries of motor oils I have ever seen. The rankings are grouped by oil weight.
