This seems flippant. If a car is fast we generally understand why. We don't need to worry that under some rarely-encountered combination of circumstances it will unexpectedly do a handbrake turn and open the fuel cap.
Speed limits on public roads place legal limits on the operation of automobiles. Rules in formula racing place limits on the speed which race cars can travel.a
