That's a good effort - have done Perth-Eucla in 1 day and Eucla-Adelaide the following day (not in a wrx).

Got on the way at 2:30 am and was pretty pooped by Balladonia but sadly they only had backpacker rooms left. I had all the stuff we didn't trust the movers with in the car so a backpacker room wasn't a good thing. Really didn't want to do that last 180km but didn't have a lot of choice.

Having a BMW X5 running blocker at about 140 from Ceduna to Norseman helped a lot .

1600km from Ayers Rock (NT) to Mount Isa (QLD) in about 10hrs with only fuel stops. Just made it in time for our flight to Brisbane! Not in a WRX.

Fozzy, Intra and I did the drive from Adelaide to Perth in a Evo 6.5 TME about 9 months ago in 30 odd hours with no overnight stop.

I don't know how you calculated that...

50km in 13 min is an average of just over 230km/h
