They are some of the best oils, why wouldn't they be ok? They are designed for everyday use, they are not "race" oils but they will work well on road and/or track.
I use the Redline personally but there isn't a lot in it (according to the petro-chemist I spoke to).

We sell Motul (cheaper than DT as well).
Stick with semi synthetic until after 5000 miles or so. Allow the engine to bed in well and then switch to the Best quality (Fully synthetic) Oil you can.
I'd also agree that there's little between the Redline oil and Motul.
