DIfference in royal purple synthetic oil?

I was looking at the racingbeat website and they have two different kinds of royal purple synthetic oil. One was just normal 20w50 synthetic, the other one was a R51 "race synthetic" oil tha'ts 20w50. What is the difference in between the two other than price?

The Racing stuff is full synthetic and I think the normal stuff is a blend with mineral oil. I've have used both. I'm using the Racing 51 now, but I just switched because, well, I don't know why I switched. I guess I wanted maximum protection for the "dry" turbo that we both are running. 51 might be a little thick, I am thinking of going with thinner oil in the future.
