He drove the distance mainly on the biggest highway in Germany (back and forth) in 2 days with few brakes not longer than an hour, so the engine didn't cool down. Found a video (in Spanish) about his stunt. On that footage he's not slipstreaming any car, he's going 55 MPH and at the end I see an average speed of 51 MPH on his BC.


But of course he would have used techniques that are not recommended for everyone, unless you know what you are doing (and that's a large minority, unfortunately) That may explain the lack of information.
