Not to further fuel the learned terrorists, but race gas generally isn't gasoline, like your first statement. I don't think any racing orgs allow pure alcohol anymore in the US, but some related form or nitromethane. Anyway, none of this belongs in a regular car, either ๐ฌ
And it really depends on the kind of racing you're doing.
I assumed it was just very high octane, often available at stations near race tracks. Regular (US system at sea level) is 87, premium is 93, "race" is 105-110. Could be used in dedicated race cars or ones set up to be retuned on site at the track
