Crossword Genius

Intensity of feeling produced by race (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heat

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'intensity of feeling' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'race' is the second definition.
(I know that heat is a type of race)

'produced by' is the link.

(Other definitions for heat that I've seen before include "brings out a sweat?" , "Raise temperature" , "Vehemence" , "It's measured in therms" , "eliminating round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
