You will struggle to hit more than 160 on a runway, as you need a good length of road to do it and stop.
Had some silly speeds on the motorway out of mine....

Bruntingthorpe isn't long enough for a top speed run.
Don't know of any test track that would really max out a LET, especially not one that you're trying to get the most out of 6th with.
