After having a chat with the World Sidecar champion team at Monza this weekend about this very topic, they tell me that the race fuel that the Superbikes use is about 119RON. Lets see the ECU deal with that then !!

May have meant something like NF Octane Booster race spec, which is an additive, not a fuel ??

You can get unleaded racing fuels to use in your car, but it's expensive and not particularly convenient to use seeing as it will be supplied in drums. If you are wanting to look further into this have a look at Elf fuels, they supply high octane fuels to many bike racers.

I was thinking more of the Turbo Max fuel that Elf offer, 101.7 RON, meeting the FIA regs too. Can't comment on the cost but it will do wonders for your car providing its properly mapped.
