I was trying to work out the length of that straight & compare it to the straight on the MLR 30 - 130 at RAF Marham.
If the straight is 1.3 miles or longer I will be maxing out at 196 mph which is the speed I would have been doing at RAF Marham if it were 0.4 of a mile longer (taking into consideration the braking distance of 0.25 of a mile).
I will need to check tyre ratings.

On public days there is a speed limit after the gantry i think its 60KPH also at Breidscheid.
I have known people get fined and have their cards confiscated for exceeding these.
On a public day there are two fast areas one between Flugplatz and Schwedenkreuz which is downhill and the other from Bergwerk to Klostertal which is longer but largely uphill, both of which should not exceed more than about 170MPH if you can find a gap in the traffic.
