Maybe there's something to it after all.

Obviously this is from the advertiser's site so it's a lot of slick marketing, but then again I know basketball players that always wear the same color socks on game day and swear by it.

Keeping friction low helps hold down engine wear rates and temperature. Which helps engines last longer. Reducing friction also conserves fuel. But the real benefit of superior friction reduction in a race engine is greater speed. Speed, after all, wins races.

Some of the energy produced by the combustion of the fuel-air mixture is consumed by friction along the way from the combustion chamber to the flywheel where torque and horsepower are measured. The more energy that escapes consumption, the more torque and horsepower there is available for moving the car.
