Sorry for jumping in, but I can't resist this.

Think that Can-AM and NASCAR cars are not so like the usual cars. The evolutions of F1 cars are well trasladed to normal cars, not like Can-AM.
In how many space can a Can-AM or NASCAR car can stop? Think that a F1 car can stop in the third part of space of any of your stuff.
In Europe, we also say "speed is not always, you also must stop in the curves", your speed would fit for those easy circuit rings, this is normal? I think not, well you also can put a rocket engine to your cars and an autopilot feature, this will gave you more speed.
F1 are "real" high powered cars, not like prototypes or any "strange" stuff.
Well that's my oppinion. :)
