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.
You are right it will be a struggle to get a safe tyre to be able to run for so long,
For me it would be a build up to 150mph then allow about 20 to 30seconds at the very max of full power to see what it does,
That's based on building a car to support such a task with all the bits needed,
My worry would be whats the car going to do at 225mph+
I have done 210mph and its deff moving around a touch to much lol.
