    I think, BeamNG.drive should get a map where you can measure top speed. Other than Grid Small Pure, where there is absolutely one staright line where you can test top speed. Not downhill, I think we can find top speed with not just nothing, but not a downhill. What do you think?

    No. I don't mean a highway. Did you watch the Top Gear episode with the supercars you would buy if you didn't want a 458? And the test track that is 8 miles long that they test it on? Sorta like that. If you did not watch it, here is a youtube video of it.

    I am not thinking of a race track. I am thinking of the Nardo Speed test in the video I posted. You don't understand what I am trying to present as an idea.

    So you want a realistic speed test track like in real life? The nardo oval fits that.

    So, basically you want a really long drag strip?

    What is the difference between a straight section of highway and a drag strip? Did a quick look at all the mods and here are some maps that will likely fit for what you want.
    http://www.beamng.com/resources/dunsfold-aerodrome-top-gear-test-track.27/
    http://www.beamng.com/resources/endless-tunnel.12/
    http://www.beamng.com/resources/desert-highway-version-12.50/
    http://www.beamng.com/resources/hirochi-raceway-added-drag-race-track.627/
    http://www.beamng.com/resources/nninfinite.740/

    Also yea in that video that is called the Nardo high speed ring. It is not a race track per se, but is used for testing vehicles. I believe there used to be a mod for it but it doesn't appear to be in the mods section of the forum atm.

    So not all the mods are in the mods section of this site?

    I guess I assumed they would have moved them to the new section to allow the automatic install method on all mods but maybe it is up to the authors to move them there?

    Yeah. The 'Mods' section was introduced a few months ago. The older mods are still on the forums.
