Description

Because of a recent issue -race needs CGO which needs gcc under windows :( . We should still be able to run our test with -race even if that mean that we need to install gcc.

Research direction
Investigate how to install gcc on Windows CI (e.g., using Chocolatey). Locate the test configuration file (e.g., .github/workflows/test.yml or appveyor.yml) and modify the test command to include ` race`. Ensure all tests pass. Check the linked Go issue #27089 for context. There is an assignee, so coordinate or propose a separate approach if needed.
