I haven't seen anything specfic to different Circuits, but generally speaking the top speeds of WTCC cars are around 140 to 150 MPH.

At Monza (2004) Tom Coronel was the fastest scoring 212 km/h in start/finish line, so this isn´t a top speed. I don´t have more details, sadly.

ETCC live timing site (http://www.msttiming.com/home.asp ) has published information with details of every session (in PDF file). Among them, there were also readings from speed traps. Those files are aparrently offline now - but you can try contact them, maybe they'll help you.

However, as E46 has pointed out, the speed traps at the circuits aren't often at the fastest point on the circuit. You'll need to get some inside info from a teams data to find out the true highest speed but around 150mph is about right.

more speed equals bigger brakes, and shorter stoping distances so less chance of overtaking and slipstreaming is now near impossible in f1
