Not at all, but 5 miles would be mental in highly modified cars

2, 3, maybe 4 in something like a fairly standard Lambo, Porsche probably isnt something of huge concern as they were designed with that.

But cars with huge amounts of power over standard, potential for well over 200+ when the tyres arent really designed for such work, is a risk. And a fairly large risk at that

But I do feel 1 mile is a good distance, maybe pushing to 1.5 miles. At least it's giving some sort of realistic distance for a car to achieve it's top speed in.

If you drag it out to 2, 3, 4, 5 etc...may as well only pick days with the wind behind you and down a steep hill too.
