In one of the papers today there is a Mercedes advert. It desribes how an E-class equppied with the new 3.0 V6 diesel did 100 000 miles in 30 days running "day and night".
By my maths that's 3333.33r miles per day, or an average of 138 miles per hour. Considering time for new drivers and fuel it must have been going faster.
Would they have bothered changing the oil?
Wonder if, when and which make will be the first to do 1 million non-stop.

Something dreadfully boring, perhaps a Toyota; they've really gone down the dull hill since the Supra.

Rolling road with computers controlling the throttle? No need for new drivers and fuel can be poured in on the fly.

Nope, this actually happened at a proper track. I think it was a banked oval. The cars travelled at about 145mph, and were serviced according to the service specifications!

That must have been stunningly boring (on a banked circuit the car will steer itself, so it's effectively going in a straight line) - I wonder how the drivers stayed awake? Maybe they didn't!
