I have boiled this crap - I ran it in a pinch after making a repair at the track and it was all we could scrounge up in the pits that day. It doesn't belong in a race car.
If it is so great, list the F1, Lemans, NASCAR teams that use it...

There you go making generalizations again. I am not saying Ate Super Blue is great and should be used by all race cars. What I am saying is that Ate Super Blue is more than adequate for a lot of race cars with mine being one of them. I do "real racing" with my car and it is a real "race car".
Why would any race team with enough budget to be in F1, run Le Mans, or run in NASCAR use anything less than the best fluid they can get into their cars? I would be using Endless or Castro SRF if I had that budget, a full time crew, and changed brake fluid after every race. Also, those series all put massive demands on the brake systems so Ate Super Blue probably wouldn't work regardless.
The bottom line is that Ate Super Blue/Type 200 are not crap, are often adequate, and make sense to use in some race cars. Appropriateness for use in a race car is race car dependent.
