The *average* overall speed of the winning R10 in 2008 was 216kph; the
top lap speeds were 240kph.  The R10's were clocked at 354kph in
practice sessions.  Find me a rally car that will average 150mph for
24 hours and hit a top speed of 220MPH...

I think only the Paris-Dakar rally has stages in the ballpark of what
the Audi drivers were doing in Truth in 24; the stage lengths there
are no more than 900km.  Compare to 5100km...
