FYI, almost all race times are road legal. It's a safety thing. That way race sanctioning organizations don't have to worry about tire safety standards, instead they just require that all tires meet US DOT (Department of Transportation) safety standards, which makes them road legal.

This probably isn't true for Formula One, but every race tire I know is DOT legal.
