average 110 is mental. ive averaged like 80 on a few hour drive before and i was over a 100 for a good chunk of it. all it takes are those little slow downs to bring down the average. cant imagine the mental toll and concentration of these guys. huge respect

[@TedwardDrives]

Not many people really understand how insane that number is. Glad there are people like you who have recorded averages and noticed this

[@Boomtowndogs]

@@TedwardDrives This^ I averaged 83mph in my A4 once from Boston to DC, and that felt extremely irresponsible. Balls of steel on these cannonball guys.

[@wanilimbe]

To keep an average of 110 you have to reach around 160 at the minimum as a maximum speed and cruise at 130. That’s mad and fucking nuts

[@PoisonHeadcrab2]

I mean by itself that doesn't sound like anything special 110 and more is what you'd average on the german autobahn for instance. But driving that while evading police I honestly cannot even imagine.

[@wanilimbe]

@@PoisonHeadcrab2 Averaging 110 by itself is mad. You’ve probably only averaged around 50 mph moving speed by yourself on a road trip. You have to take account for how fast you are going on the street which brings down your average. The guys who did cannonball averaged 103 mph over 24 hours and did 193 mph top speed. Anything over 70 mph as a moving average is insane.

[@ms5ooo171]

„The minimum speed you can go is 110, 115mph [...] those aren’t normal speeds“ Germans be like: Yeah, sometimes I also like to go slow.

[@amazingblyatman5760]

As a german, i agree. There is always someone who has a faster car than you on the Autobahn

[@Mobischer]

In Germany the Challenge would be: Drive 1000km with an average speed of under 150mph

[@partyjerk]

More like sit in stau.

[@kuyni]

110 mph is Indeed a pretty classic classic cruising speed on the Autobahn. At night or when the road is empty, it is easy to cruse at 160 mph if your car is powerful enough. However I drove once on an American roads and I won't feel safe driving that fast with drivers not keeping the right lane and not checking the mirrors...

[@maddinshane]

@@kuyni dont forget the poor road quality ;)

[@ElliottAlvis]

The average speed really is impressive. A buddy and I tried to average 80mph on a 4 hour drive once and it was insane what we had to drive like to achieve that.

[@TedwardDrives]

Great point! Most people don't realize how much speed is involved to achieve an average like this until they do exactly what you did

[@birtalanlorant5572]

We don't really have highways in my country, so I cannot really have that good of an insight, but for me any my buddies a 191 km (119 mile) trip to where we study is 3 hours. That's an avarage of 63kmh (39.2 mph). To achieve this we basically do double the speed limit in cities and do 10-20% over the speed limit outside. Most people do 4 hours-4.5 hours on this distance, that's considered avarage by most of the population. (Around 26-30 miles per hour on avarage). Doing 110 miles per hour for over 2000 miles is straight up madness!

I once averaged 150 kmh (92 mph) on a 500km (310 mi) night drive on the Autobahn in a stock GTI with 200hp. It felt like i was driving over 200kmh (120 mph) all the time. But one construction or one guy sitting in the left lane kills your average almost instantly. Averaging 110 mph feels impossible to me even on an empty Autobahn at night. Great achievement!

[@OhMyKMPR]

I drive on the Autobahn daily and people going faster than 300kph is extremely rare. Commuting to work at 300kph is even less likely because of traffic. That kind of speed can only be achieved on weekends in the early morning hours when the roads are empty. Also, while I am not in favor of a general speed limit on our German highways, going that fast is certainly not without risk and should only be done when road conditions allow for it.

Thanks a lot for making this video I had no idea how much work and thought goes into these runs.

[@lukedebu5210]

Sadly as it turns out his proof wasn't lining up, and some of it was fabricated. Though it is impossible to fully prove he didn't achieve the time he claimed, the evidence he was providing fell far short of the usual proof provided with a claim. Several of the screenshots he provided as proof turned out to be heavily edited, even with a couple of the same screenshots containing differing information. In the end, though it would be an amazing time to set solo, it does not look like he actually achieved the claimed time.

I still think the trick to a new record especially while the roads aren't as crowded is fuel efficiency... any powerful diesel sedan can easily average the same speed as the current record holder and probably use half as much fuel. Effectively turning that one stop into possibly a no stop run.

[@villLe]

If only the E400d (wagon with air suspension) or M550d were available in the US...

[@aleks138]

you can get an a6 with a 3.0tdi but no point of awd sucking up power and efficiency. so as much as it hurts me I would vote for a bmw

Romuald Clariond made an attempt in 2018 with an Euro spec Audi A4 TDI wagon fitted with an 100-gallon auxiliary tank. He finished with a time of 30:53. But the one-stop strategy could also work with a gas car, as Fred Ashmore’s Mustang GT outfitted with an extra 130 gallons proved.

[@definitelyfunatparties]

@@kipdiggs1827 I mentioned a no-stop not a one stop run. Which would be a lot easier on a diesel. You could still make a no-stop in a powerful gas car, but at what cost? How much extra weight would that be?

[@TedwardDrives]

Thanks! Technically yes it would impact efficiency but not by enough of a margin that would justify not making a fuel stop. That weight counts the most under acceleration vs steady state cruising so if it were in stop and go traffic that’s where you’d see the increase in fuel use most. Glad to see more locals seeing the content!

Why dont they all use Diesels? They are the perfect travel machines.

[@mrclean5789]

Fuel economy would be my guess

[@psanderbrand]

@@mrclean5789 They are way more fuel efficient than gasoline cars. Especially at high speed. Therefore here in europe, but especially here in germany, cars intended for use as a long distance car, almost always are diesels. My best guess as to why they aren't used that often (or at all?) in cannonballing would be do too both the lack of available high powered diesel cars in the us (even in Europe they've seldomly reached over 300 hp) and probably because of a worse availability of diesel over gasoline in the US in general. But I'm not to sure about that last statement.

[@Nour-hh7ok]

@@psanderbrand was wondering the same thing, there is an a8 with 4 liter diesel has around 350hp, does like 40 mpg at high speeds so they will be doing less refueling and it will be a breeze for the car. But all big engines can take long trips.

[@BLProd11]

Diesels aren’t readily available in the US like the are known Europe, S8’s are probably 4 to 1 in production. On top of that, they really don’t have the thrust or “sportiness” of the S8. Gotta remember, cannonball cars have to stop and handle as well.

There will be a full feature on it and the team but it can’t be released for some time. But what else would you like to know about it?

[@avaitioncars9718]

Tedward will it be released on your channel? And can you make a full tour/walk around of the S8. It feels like a villains getaway car. It’s awesome

[@TedwardDrives]

I believe it will be released here when it's all said and done. Interviews with the team, real footage from the run etc. We'll need to wait a bit until that can come out

[@ProjectWolve]

what a beautiful and peaceful looking neighbourhood

[@po.russki]

Lmao why do people call in a quick car? You can be quick and completely safe

[@kojack635]

They're karens

[@devalraval007]

What a machine, what a car.. Always loved previous generations of A8/S8.

[@moonrunnerlife1640]

The rise of Audi. Superior to BMW and Mercedes.

[@BreadAndGatorade]

lol, I thought my average of 71 over 1000 miles with 2 fuel stops was good. The thing that kills this type of thing for me is fatigue driving. I've had the unfortunate experience of falling asleep (Miami to NYC) 1 hour from destination. Luckily I hit a cone and woke up before I hit a wall. Now I limit my drive to ~1000 miles or 16 hours, take good rest stops and such. Props to you cannon ballers.

[@Notorious1000RR]

love the audi s8 its such a good buy u can find them at good pricesand get hell of a car

[@TheDiabolocraft]

I'm waiting for the millionaire cannonballer who will use a gtc lusso who will reprogram the passenger screen

[@ElyciusM]

what a gorgeous car. I love my s4, but that looks so good.

[@toonczyk]

"Every gallon of fuel weighs 6 pounds"... damn American units are so intuitive.

[@F14Mavrick]

what? is it that complicated for you superior Europeans? SMH.......

[@MrZillas]

@@F14Mavrick - Metric system is based on "10" or "x10". A fucking gallon are 3.79 liters, which is stupid as fuck. European pound are 500 grams (0,5 kg), in US its 0.45359237 kg. How dumb is that? ....... A cube of 10x10x10 centimeters takes 1 liter water. 1 liter water weights 1 kilogram. Show me the cube that takes a fucking gallon. Ya, you cant. 100 cent = 1 Euro/Dollar (cool, thats easy). But concerning american football, you dont take 100 centimeters for 1 meter as we superior Europeans do, no, but 91,44 centimeters for 1 yard. So, what is a fucking yard? Yeah, its 3 feet and 1/12 inches, thats absolutely helpful.

[@LEK]

@@F14Mavrick Ye it is, 1lb being 0,453592 KG is not that easy to understand

[@shawnhodgkin7156]

The car that deserves the record

[@minivanmaster]

Pretty horrible to imagine the driver could lose his/her license while doing this. driving 100 mph in some states is almost as bad as DUI. Straight to jail. The laws suck. Someone should crowdfund free radar jammers for everyone. Who cares about laws?!

[@Tow.m3]

beautiful! and a local too! i know that stretch of 495 and 95, bren is also top notch too!

[@sdjro]

How is it possible that in 2019 you can listen to police comms?i live in a banana country and here the police have all their comms blocked🤷‍♂️

[@primusltm]

I believe alot of states in America still use unencrypted radios for comms. But they are slowly switching to encrypted comms. My country has had encrypted comms for awhile now also

[@TheEvoxTurbo]

Hands down to these cannonballers. I have my respect on these run after watching roy’s 3207 run. I have tried to average 110mph for a 372 miles run, got it just at 95mph. Most people don’t understand that if you’ve been driving at 60mph for 10 minutes, to gain back those average, you gotta do at least 120 for the next 10 minutes just to even it out. At those speed with other traffic is petrifying. You have to anticipate what other cars would do. Just amazed with those people doing this.

[@nipesd1780]

Is this some American joke, im too German to understand? I drive with my instructor everytime 150 mph on the "Autobahn"

[@Hampztar]

isnt it faster to take an airplane?!

[@TedwardDrives]

Fair.

[@TishoNedev]

If you watched the video carefully you would have realized that the S8 is in fact an airplane!

[@johnaitken7430]

Our roads are fraught w construction in summer..and now, trailer traffic...we used to really enjoy overnight from Calgary to Minnesota overnight..beck then was Volvo turbo which was good for it’s time...we drove near 100 and in a few years of it only have one incident in dark with loose cow..my wife was driving, 2am..she didn’t blink, but simply spun the car out of trouble.

[@johnaitken7430]

I was lucky enough to marry a woman who had taken a Jim Russel open wheel course..

[@rebeccat4646]

yass more women in cannonball! oh wait, i pee every 3 hours....

[@TedwardDrives]

hahah i pee just as much... maybe i need one of those pills they show on TV with the guy made out of pipes

[@rebeccat4646]

@@TedwardDrives you'd just have to hook me up to a catheter. if they could make a car that ran off of that i'd be set haha

[@backseatdriver8902]

Big and fast sedans are the way to go. I would think the new RS6 Wagon could give it go??? The hatch will be easy to work with, ya know???

[@Trapperjohn1000]

I got a Audi A8 and I love that car. Fast and roomy and powerful

[@DubioserAltschauerberger1510]

S8 looks much nicer than the new 7 series and s class.

[@orlandoanthony3086]

Best car I ever owned. Just traded it in for the Alpina B6.

[@xilix]

Such a mystery who's car this is.. lol. Keep killin' it, man, these videos are great. I'm out in Springfield if ya ever wanna drive a totally clapped out Mustang.

[@Hankola]

3:15 You spoke about the gas pumps. Would it be wise to find a truck stop where the gas pumps have a high flow nozzle? Do different gas stations pump gas at different PSI?
