Do not know if you have this in your country but us crazy American Corvette owners like to haul ass
Here one of the way to do long distance high speeds is called Open Road Racing (ORR)
This first started by a long time friend of mine, two time Indy 500 winner - Rodger Ward in the mid 1990s
Thought I'd Give you some first and video of these races that were anywhere from 80 to 120 miles long in states of Nevada and Texas
Public roads are rented, closed off to the public and we racers haul ass of speeds for the Corvettes of 130 to over 200 MPH
Roads used travel through mountain or hills and elevations run from 4,500 to 6,500 feet above sealevel
Normally hot weather like 90 F degrees which is hell as your wearing full Nomex gear, full faced helmet, gloves, etc,
Windows up and no A/C running, so sweat is running down your head into your eyes.
Consider covering a football field (300 feet) per second or more and having blind corners and hills
If you ever come to the USA try planning on going to one of the 4 ORRs that still happens per year
People are known to fly here, rent a car and then go hall ass.
Imagine having up to 120 non-stop miles, being able to use both sides of the road and the only thing to worry about is wild animals like steer, buzzards or snakes on the road, and you can go as fast as the type of safety gear either you or the vehicle has
Corvette owns these types of ORRs as they really can handle the high speeds and quite easy to take a corner speed sign saying 45 MPH and you fly through at 120 MPH
Giving you different view from my Corvette in-car video, to from a course worker, to when shown on live TV with ESPN sports channel
