[0.05BTC] Find me a world record

[420]

I want to know what the world record is for longest consecutive drive. that is one person, one car, driving without stopping. or stopping for no more than 5 minutes or something (like traffic light) he has to eat and piss in the car you know

EDIT: upped the reward

[John (John K.)]

There's  Longest distance driven on one tank of fuel: Helen and John Taylor set world record
http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/transport/longest_distance_driven_on_one_tank_of_fuel_Helen_and_John_Taylor_set_world_record_112870.html
but I don't see a record for longest consecutive drive yet.

yeah. i need consecutive time awake driving. that would be 26 2/3 hours at 60mph if they drove it straight

You're still looking for a single driver, right?

I don't think there's much attention for single drivers (for one thing, it's dangerous and therefore possibly illegal). Plus, single drivers probably drive more than 24 hours all the time so no one pays any attention

If you do release that restriction, I would like to submit 11 days, 17 hours and 22 minutes of non-stop driving by a 3-man team:

Edit: It mentions they beat the last record by 3 days, which means the previous record holders actually spent more time in their car... I think most of these records for long drives will be about the fastest drive, not most time spent.

what does it matter if they're single or married? yeah single drivers

they couldn't have had that much fuel onboard

I drove this http://goo.gl/maps/EXSVd

Took more than 30 hours because it was during the winter and I stopped for gaz and food. I saw the sunrise 3 times in the same day since we left at the end of day 1.

Second time, I managed to drive a little bit longer but not much : http://goo.gl/maps/TFES8

3000km seem to be the maximum I can drive without sleeping.

no sleep? did you submit your world record

[01BTC10]

No sleep but, I don't think it's a world record lol. Is it?

[01BTC10]

Not sure if I could apply for a world record since it's technically illegal in Canada to drive that much without sleep.

You get both a ticket and a certificate for your record. 
Anyhow, I don't think 30 hours is the max yet.

fuck that law.

were you on energy drinks, coffee, what?


what types of hallucinations did you have

[keatonatron]

This guy drove 44 hr 46 minutes.

Looks like Guiness doesn't have a record of this type, though, so I don't know about finding an official source.

Do I win?

It'd be great if he had video evidence

I'm the judge. Let's wait for all entries

what types of hallucinations did you have

Coffee and energy drinks. After 40 hours, I usually begin to see cars and trucks that don't exist suddenly disappearing. Then I stop to get some sleep. Driving that much is not smart... Did it only twice when I was younger.

This is the problem--no one remembers how slow someone was 

The 48-hour record means it was the fastest (shortest time) at that time. There were probably people who took 50+ hours, but no one recorded them because they were the losers...
