Why not just go with Liqui Moly 10w40 if just street driving? The further the numbers get apart, ie 10w30 to 10w60, the less stable the oil is at the necessary viscosity.

I use Liquid Moly 0w40 and change every 4k miles.

Red Line uses a lot of group V (POE, I believe).

But honestly, the basestock group isn't a big deal. People get too hung up on it; focus on the overall formula. Any good oil will have group III, IV, and V in it since you can get the benefits of each without the drawbacks.

I would just use the Castrol TWS (the OEM oil since the car was introduced), or the new Shell TwinPower 10w60 (the new OEM oil). Both are stout formulas and will work just fine for 99% of situations, including track time.
