hell, it's easy on those large distances...
i once drove from Belgium to Alpes-Duez in FRance,
a cool 1100 km one way ,

and i did the whole trip to and from in under 36 hours, including sleep in hotel, breakfast, and a morning run on the mountain with my snowboard

no gps back then , but did the 1100 km in 7 hours flat
left at 12h30 arrived at 19h30, that's 157km/h
and that included crazy mountain roads, some short stops to stretch legs and refuel, and dense traffic around Lyon...
i was extremely lucky with tickets, be cause i had been speeding most of the way... and did not get any ( did see others getting tagged at the payages(french toll booths)
