At 4:02, the source you cite about the EV range issue only applies in -20F weather. March is not producing that low of a temperature in the US. The COLDEST states during the entire cannon ball run will only be at a LOW of like, 40F in March, well within the operational temperature for an EV. Come on man. You tried to claim unbiased research to get out of that too.

The Run was inspired by the Cannonball Run, so yeah, the story of the game was purposely made to imitate it. In the main version, you can even see your average speed in each event (according to reviews and footage, i only played the Wii version) EDIT: i played it recently and yes it does show average speed + a timer that shows your collective time of all stages, meaning that you can set times for the entire run, even though it's broken into chapters and stages

3200 miles / 24 hours = 133mph average. But, when you get stuck in denser traffic, you'll have to make up all the time spent below 133mph on longer straightaways. And these days, with as much traffic as we have now, I'd say that those records likely won't be broken.

More like NFS The Run: Cannonball the game (most of the people don't seem to know that The Run was actually inspired by that race)

In the 60’s the NY State Freeway had no speed limit, just 40mph min. If you kept a safe distance from the car in front of you, state troopers left you alone. If was nice to do 100mph in a good car. I borrowed my father’s MGB.

I used to be a valet @ the Portofino Hotel in Redondo and loved seeing all the guys pulling in after Cannonball runs!

15:46 - Wait, why does the E63 have a "plane crash avoidance system"?! As in that was a standard feature on the car that these guys repurposed for detecting police aircraft? How often do planes crash into cars? 😲

Awesome storytelling then got confused with the timeline jumping back and forth then amazed by the storytelling again. This is amazing work! Keep it up!

Out of the countless videos on the cannonball run yours was by far the most entertaining and enjoyable and extremely easy to learn from!

From what I understand there were 2 cannonball movies in 1976. Cannonball with David Carradine and Cannonball Run with Burt Reynolds.

Just go to a track, this is fking crazy psychopathic and so dangerous not only to the drivers but all the other drivers on the roads they traverse. It’s only a matter of time till innocent people die because of this

New subscriber…you are very easy to listen to when narrating. Plus, you are not a bot! Keep up the great work. 🇺🇸

Always loved the Cannonball, a combination of skill, gear, power and huge cojones. That last one's going to rest for a while. At the end, the advert for another video...is that Michelle Mouton next to an inverted Audi Quattro? She's a professional rally legend. And she's up next! Thanks for great vids, Albon.

Yeah Utah was busier than ever during the pandemic. I worked at a restaurant in Zion canyon at the time and we were busier than ever. Packed house pretty much every night

I had no idea Utah was open then, and glad to hear they did not accept the narrative.

I applied for the Cannonball in 1979. My cousin and I were going to run his '73 Mustang Mach 1, 351 Cleveland motor. But, alas, we had ZERO racing experience (I was 21 then) and Brock sent me a very nice rejection letter.
