Funny this thread should appear - I was wondering the same thing myself today.
I didn't figure out what RA stands for but basically it allows you to change things such as traction control, ABS and best of all brake balance, during a race. You can set it up by going to Options and changing the controls. I use a DS3 so I just assigned some of the buttons I don't use to the RA functions. You do need five spare buttons for this otherwise you won't be able to use the functions properly in game.
The five buttons are: bring up the RA function menu, then select a function (with + & - meaning scroll up or down), and then change a function (with + & - increasing or decreasing the function). When you bring up the menu it appears as a transparent thing on your screen but as far as I'm aware you can't pause whilst you're changing settings, which is a bit annoying.
Anyway, I'm not great at explaining things but I hope this helps and perhaps someone who knows a bit more about it can shed some light. I'm glad I found out about it today, as I'd heard people talking about it before and it seems useful.
EDIT: Found this vid, not great but makes it clear enough:

it's usable on anything you can program enough buttons to run it. it takes ALL RA show MENU + and - to scroll thru menu up and down and the other + and - to change the setting. I have it the top left button on my g27 with look back and the other 5 buttons programmed for RA whatever RA actually mean.

Yep. I use DS3.
I've set mine up as:
→ to access menu
← to scroll up menu
↓ to scroll down menu
[] to decrease function
X to increase function
I chose these buttons as they're all ones I don't use for anything else.
I noticed in the menu there was something about 4WD but it was shaded out when driving that Alfa on Eiger Grand Tour. Does anyone know what that function's for?

I need the horn when I race at the nurburgring, to tell the car in front of me to give way 💡

You can go into your options and there should be a place for you to remap the G27 buttons. I have mine set up similar to opelgt's diagram and it works for me.

I have remapped mine somewhat, I changed the shifter knob around so the downshift is set to reverse and up shift I use for 2nd e-brake. The e-brake helps doing dirt/snow racing as I stink at drifting ( had to drift in the snow to get the drifting trophy). In case anybody didn't know the paddle shifters are mapped separate from the hand shifter.
