The government brought in the 70 speed limit after Lola to mention one 
car company were testing LeMans cars at night on the empty M1 at speeds 
in excess of 200mph.
70 mph was suggested by the police as the cars and competence level of 
their drivers meant that chases at any higher speed would be beyond the 
police.  (If you can see their reasoning on that? ie if we can't catch
you you have broken another law.) It's in Hansard if you be bothered to
look.
