In this paper we test a special-relativistic formulation of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) that has been derived from the Lagrangian of an ideal fluid. Apart from its symmetry in the particle indices, the new formulation differs from earlier approaches in its artificial viscosity and in the use of special-relativistic ``grad-h-terms''. In this paper we benchmark the scheme in a number of demanding test problems. Maybe not too surprising for such a Lagrangian scheme, it performs close to perfectly in pure advection tests. What is more, the method produces accurate results even in highly relativistic shock problems.
