By this definition, every access to a shared resource is a race condition, e.g. even when properly acquiring a lock. It is common knowledge that you introduce locks to remove race conditions so I would say something is definitely missing from the definition.

I think "remove" the race condition is the wrong word. It should be "resolve" the race conditions.

The race exists because there are multiple accesses. This is resolved when there is a protocol for deciding who proceeds and who waits for the other.

Usually you’re adding locks not to remove the race condition but to make them not a bug.

That is a valid definition but it's not the one used by everyone I know and work with. A race condition is a fault, just like a SQL injection; it could easily have referred to a programming technique but it doesn't.
