If you're over-spec for your particular car, you don't run "regular" oil any more than you run a factory tune for when you're adding boost to a NA car. You run something designed to perform at the level you're performing at.
Personally, I'd want to see the proof of Mobil 1 failing. It's easy to hit a corner in a wet-sump engine, starve the engine of oil and then blame the oil. There are also numerous other reasons for the same kind of failure... all having nothing to do with the oil itself.
