Not read the whole thread, so might have missed something, but the only info I could find was this. Seems he denied driving the vehicle and, in the absence of further proof, got slapped with a small fine and some points.

Contact Lewes Crown Court for the outcome.
HOLLETT, James URN: 47NC8008120
Can asking for an outcome lead to issues?HOLLETT, James URN: 47NC8008120
Id actually do it, but if I get told an out come and get told it's also got a court order restricting it being published Id rather not be the random person who contacted them out of the blue and by chance it start appearing online shortly after.

If another trial is pending then potential contempt of court to publish the outcome of the first trial.

If the case has concluded then ask if there’s a reporting restriction.

Based on driving legally at over 140 mph on the German autobahn, I can tell you that above 120 mph it becomes like a video game. You have to be looking so far ahead that as thing come closer, they flash past in your peripheral vision. I felt comfortable up to about 120 mph, but above that, I felt like the smallest error and we'd be dying in a fore ball. Some of that was down to the cars aerodynamics and some down to how the world flashed past.
I've done some silly things on the road in the past, but at those sort of speeds it was never as you describe for me, even some fast and furious style driving through traffic didn't feel that risky at the time. Thought the cars involved were all very capable of those elevated speeds so perhaps that is the difference.I think my own brain, needs to compute things faster than it does though.
