Flatspot is correct. After the awful '64 fire and explosion at Indy that killed Dave MacDonald and Eddie Sachs, methanol was chosen as an alternative because it has a much higher flashpoint., i.e., it doesn't catch fire as easily and has far less explosive tendencies. It has nothing to do with turbos.
