It's actually in the Driver's Republic article "The Story Behind the 7:29" lap. You have Mizuno talking the journalist through the data trace. This is where the reference to the 290 kph instances are made. You have visual confirmation of this if you go to the next page and look at the photo set. One of the photos contains the data trace from the 7:29 run. The vehicle speed trace is scaled to min/max. The max is clearly 290 kph and the red trace (7:29 run) touches the peak on the back straight.
