These can be very fussy, you will need a good mineral 15w-50 changed very often becuase of that the gearbox does to it. It also does not like most synthetics.
However
There is one synthetic which works very well in the mini engine/gearbox setup which is the Silkolene Pro R 15w-50, for a hard used/tracked car this would be my choice.
