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....

I only run H rated tyres which is ~130. Not like it matters mind, the 306 won't go over 105 or so.

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.
