        Hamburg to Brussels and Back

        Looking at the trip planner Hamburg to Brussels is a 6 hour drive. Does 6 hours sound pretty accurate to you guys? This 6 hours is an estimate using a Michelin trip computer so I'm not sure what speeds they are driving. I guess with a driver like Gustav or Johann some time could be cut off or is the route fairly limited as far as high speed driving?

        What I'd like to do is high speed one way and rural backroads on the way back.

        Using Map24 I get 5:28 (center to center). Big part of the journey being Autobahn I would say you could shave another hour off of that, given moderate traffic and using the left lane. (offcourse, the type of car is also a factor.)

        Regards,

        Gerrit

        Hi Gerrit!

        I'm looking forward to when you find that M3 GT,
        Then we call Ralf, and I stay in the backseat.
