Why not create a rolling cylinder, then the road surface is endless. and do the same with the rear view. Just like the chaep TV shows and movies do.
Just an idea, to recreate 1 mile at the correct scale would be a massive scale.
You could just use the same peice of geo and use different camera views to simulate real scale.
there are lotgs of options. inc real footage
