I’ve already done Calgary - Gatineau in 29h30 through the US with an average speed of around 108 km/h. I drove with a RD through the Prairies and US. It’s kinda hard to do better than that without getting caught (specifically in the US which they have a lot of police surveillance).

too bad we don't have a limitless straight path through the prairies. I'd do 340 through that crap.
lol 108 km. You are not even going above speed limit.
As far as I've researched there are a couple but nothing noteworthy. It's a grueling trek across Canada. You are automatically at a disadvantage due to our geography. The fastest way across Canada? It's through the US. Northern Ontario is a killer.i wonder if there is a canadian record.... Halifax to Vancouver lol
Comment ils font pour ne pas avoir de ticket par la suite?
Il y avait aussi un char qui avait modifié tout son coffre pour faire une immense fuel tank . Je pense qu’il n’a jamais arrêté
Mais mexhante risque de partir en fumee

The fact a regular guy broke the Cannonball record in a rental mustang that was a fuel tank with little for "counter measures" just shows you that the well funded teams are some what full of shit and do it for show.

So the new record and extremely well funded team

I believe that historically speaking, they'd wait a few months before going public as the "statute of limitation" for certain offences would expire.
IE charges (or tickets) need to be filed within X time or it can't be done. The delays in going public makes the prosecution's job just about impossible.
So long as no one in the car "flips" and spills the beans, waiting a few months would also make any witnesses account pretty unreliable. "Oh yeah, 6 months ago a white car drove past me really quickly. It had wheels and doors. There was a man driving but I can't remember what he looks like" Traffic / CCTV footage would also likely get purged or not be available. (who was at the wheel when the car pulled in to whichever gas station).
It would be all sorts of reckless to brag about this the next day.
Absolutely. I've driven the American and Canadian alternatives and Northern Ontario sucks.
Highway 17: Two Ways, Two lanes with rock faces on either sides of the roadway? Semis everywhere slowing you down and making passing a chore. Metric fuck ton of wildlife? High gas prices and poor availability (at times) of high octane?
Love what they're doing with the cars to "disguise them". That's pretty clever.
But hearing them explain their "rationale" is a bit funny.
"Oh, I chose the E63 at the time because there wasn't a full Alpha package for the S6." Bitch please. That car desperately needs more fuel/range more than it needs a shit ton more power.
The high profile teams' legions of scouts / kamikazes willing to take one of the team is probably more effective than the fancy gear and power mods. But it adds to the overall mystique, that's for sure.
What is baffling to me is why it hasn't been done in diesel Benz or BMW. Enough power, enough top speed, probably can squeeze out more range. Good planning is key vs "omg I need more power for the YouTube. You would be able to fuel the tanks yourself quickly at a truck stop
The Mustang rental was genius. It's what I'd expect from a proper car guy. Disguise cars seems like a waste of time and just adds flare. Most people don't even know that car they're driving.. you think theyll be able to make something out at 140mph?

The emission system issues are caused by the lack of high speed runs..

The turn over of fuel at those off the interstate is high. I wouldn't even be worried. . The same can happen on a gas car. You are overthinking itYes, they don't like short cycles, no load. High speed highway cruising is a dream scenario technically speaking. This would be more of an irrational lack of faith than a technical argument. Would you be willing to bet a record attempt on getting some shitty watered down diesel along the way though? Seems I've read more about bad fuel killing HPFP / injectors "out of the blue" than the same with gas cars. Proper planning would make this less of a concern.
It's sort of counter intuitive, but in this day and age I'd pick gas over diesel if dependability is the most important metric.
They said in another video the challenge is tk get back to speed as fast as possible not maintain it.What is baffling to me is why it hasn't been done in diesel Benz or BMW.
