Speed racer.jpg

The Speed Racer Achievement is available only when the geohash falls on a drivable road. The achievement can be claimed when you drive through the geohash at the maximum (legal) speed on the correct day. Satisfactory proof will probably consist of a photo of yourself near the location, preferably with your vehicle. Note that taking pictures while driving is dangerous and not recommended, so it helps to bring a friend.

Add a ribbon to your user or geohash visit page to show what you have achieved! Ribbons are available here.

Upcoming Event: On Sunday, July 27th the geohash location for the "Sauerland, Germany" region is directly on the Autobahn A45 (in direction north-west / Dortmund). (Note: IIRC the speed limit at this point is 130 km/h, but it may also be unrestricted. - Is it possibly to get this achievement at all if there is no speed limit?)


Winners

The following Geohashers have won this award, and have supplied proof.

Without proof:

  • Jacob, here but no proof, and also not at 4 PM. :-)
  • Bill, also here and also no proof, but at 4PM. ;-)
  • Geekthras, here, with about a dozen others.
    • Matt, at the same hash but separate from the group.
  • Alex and Chris, here, but mention must be made that the street had no posted speed limit signs on the way to or from the hash.
