It also would only take around 20 hours.
Comment on You can drive 74 hours and still be in Germany. The American mind can't comprehend this.

2,219km is only 1,378mi… that’s about the distance from the southern tip of California to the top of Washington State. Not even the width of the US.

20 hours to travel 2219km is 110km/hr. Around the narrow lane of a roundabout, that’s at least 6gs, which can be fatal without training

Yeah, that’s some serious donuts they’re making! Is there a German idiom for driving rapidly in a circle? I don’t think “Krapfen machen” means the same thing.

In Germany, they don’t say “driving rapidly in a circle,” they say “Was soll der Scheiß? Pass doch auf, verdammt!” and I think that’s beautiful

No, but it’s no problem to spontaneously invent one, so I call it “hochgeschwindigkeitskreiseln”

You never heard about Kennedy in Berlin, eh?

Self-limiting system. As you black out, the circle gets looser, the Gs fall off, you wake up more, turn tighter, the Gs build again…
