Not slow ones, but even a CSL can reach the speed limiter (indicated 168mph) down Dottinger Hohe if you do a second lap (where you use the whole of the straight to pick up speed). 250km/h is only 156mph - anything with 350bhp or more is going to have to watch their speed there (on a second flying lap). Obviously if you pull out of the pits, you can't build up to that speed in the distance you have in a slow car, so no worries there.
The straight before Flugplatz is now limited to 200km/h (only 124mph), it is very easy to hit 135mph in a CSL, so again, you will have to be watching your speed in anything with 350bhp or more (at a point where you really want to be watching the track

).
The 250 km/h limit after Flugplatz down to Swedenkreuz is about right - I wouldn't feel comfortable going too much faster in a road car LOL.
