That seems like too fast for night driving. At that speed you'd want perfect conditions including maximum visibility.

I don't think the driver was very fluent in risk management calculus

And being on a track in a controlled environment. Going anywhere near this speed on a shared road is absolutely unconscionable in any conditions.

There are zero tracks where you can do high speed cruising.

There are definitely tracks where you can easily exceed 234kph.
