No speed limit at all, just common sense. Conrod is a bit deceptive, unless you have massive horsepower you get to a speed, say 200kph and then you reach the uphill bit about halfway down, speed doesn't increase much, if any, in that section. There is also those 2 'humps' in the major straits. Cobras are not very aerodynamic and it takes a lot of 'kahunas' to keep your foot planted when the front wheels get very light and the car wanders about the track..... I only reached about 210 by my speedo. Still was quite a blast.
