I ran a kit car for over 20 years in just the same condition. No trips to Le Mans, though.

I did nearly 200 miles on a space saver tyre at about the same speed. I would have stuck to 50mph, but a race engineer friend said they were good up to 80mph. He drives faster than me on ordinary tyres, so I split the difference.
