  It also would only take around 20 hours.

    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”

      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…
