Last year the route's speed limits varied between 35 to 55 mph. According to organizers, the time limit was based on driving no less than 10% below the posted speed limits, and included a mandatory 10 minute rest/hospitality stop in the city of Geneva. Route length was 79 miles. And I think I came in at somewhere just over 2 hours. Like 2:10 or something.
