    Default Does any know what the quickest time anyone has ever driven across Canada?

    I'm wondering if anyone has any clue or idea or can point me in the right direction to finding the record time for anyone who has driven across Canada? Coast to coast. I'm a fan of Alex Roy and his 32 hours 7minutes. And his www.teampolezihq.com and I would like to try to break or if there isn't a record I will try to set a record at driving across Canada.

    Any info on this would help. Any thoughts or ideas because I can't find anything. There probably isn't anything.

    Thanks

    From Victoria to St. John's, it's 6,823 km's. If he did it in 32 hours and 7 minutes, that means he did an average of ~212.42km/hr.

    6823kms (according to Google Maps)/32.11667 hours

    So he basically had to do 400 kph from the rockies all the way to the Ontario border.

    Once youre in Ontario, youre in impound territory very easily as the speed limit immediately drops 10kph. Also, far too many traffic cops there.

    Is there proof that he did it in 32 hours? Did he also do it solo? Because:

    a.) That link doesn't work
    b.) I've done Calgary to Vegas in 21 hours straight, which is 2/3 of the time elapsed for what looks to be 1/3 the length of the Canada journey. That was tag-teamed too with driver shifts, which still hurt.

    In order to do this Canada journey that quickly, there had to be special rules stated, municipality awareness... etc.

    EDIT:

    This is the website:

    http://teampolizeihq.com/

    And apparently, "32 hours, 7 Minutes" is a documentary:

    He is also an Executive Producer of “32 Hours, 7 Minutes”, a documentary about the 1981-83 U.S. Express, the last no-holds barred illegal non-stop race from NY to LA, and Associate Producer of the “Great Chicken Wing Hunt”, which is about exactly what one thinks it is.
    Quotations would've helped.

    I can believe 32 hours in America - not Canada.

    32 hours is doable for America, near impossible for Canada.

    My buddy did Calgary to St Johns in 39 hours and he hauled ass.
    3 drivers involved and they subtracted the bathroom breaks and gas stops.Otherwise 41 hours.

    He probably subtracted the time change knowing him.

    So coast to coast will add another 7 or 8 hours to get from Vancouver to Calgary.

    So the aftermarket specs on the M5 for the car on that "32hr 7min" website is quite impressive - obviously meant to haul ass fast and discretely.

    These are interior accessories:

    - lidar jammers front and rear
    - night vision cameras (both driver and co pilot)
    - brake and tail light cut off switches
    - digital and analogue radio scanners
    - IR spotting scopes

    I doubt these guys would be stopping for the police on the highway if they were pursued.

    I wonder if one could do 32 hours across Canada in a CESSNA....(even flying IFR).

    Fuel stops every 4 hours included (switching pilots of course).

    Depends on the Cessna. In a 150, I doubt it. In a Citation X, easily!

    I'm just being a clown... You say Cessna and everyone thinks these tiny planes when in fact Cessna makes the fastest commercial jet in the world now.

    If I can't find any record I'll just try. To beat the fastest time I heard. And so far that is Calgary to st johns in 39 hours. Plus the time to vancouver so whatever that is I'll try to beat it. It's just a plan in the works so it will take me a while to do it. I thought more of you would of heard of the team polezi, Alex Roy stuff. I guess not
