If you guys are really interested, there is the Kitchener Waterloo Rally club, and they run what are called Navigational Rallys, which is pretty much what this is --> Make it to the destionation at EXACTLY the correct time, any faster or any slower results in penalties, and the times are set according to speed limits.

So I'm "street racing" when I run for the bus?? LOL, kidding - navigational rallys are perfectly legal since they just really involve timing and reading a map... there is no point in getting anywhere before anyone else cuz you get penalized for being over or under the time limit.

Sorry to burst your bubble but for the past 8 years the AUTOBAHN has had a speed limit...due to the unification of most of the european countries a limit was given to all highways including the autobahn
