Personally I wouldn't use anything as thick as 15W on a daily driver. On a cold day it'll take several seconds for the oil to reach the head/tappets and the bearings of the turbocharger.

It says Motorsport on the tin, yeah, fair enough. But in motorsport you usually don't start a car several times a day at -5 degrees.
