With the release today of the GPS coordinates in the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I wanted to see what could be done with the data.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Unfortunately the PDF is easy for humans to read, but hard for computers, so first I used Automator in Mac OS X to copy the text out and then Text Wrangler to clean up the lines. I sent the resulting file to davesaddiction, who used it for that first map.
I also made a map, but it uses Google and is interactive. I coloured the route lines according to the speed, which you can see by zooming in.
Ideally it’d be cool if Jalopnik can host the data file and my HTML because it’s on my personal site now.
UPDATE I had planned to do it, but thedevilinside reminded me that it should have some more info, so it now lets you click on a segment to see speed and elapsed distance and time at the start of that segment.
2019 UPDATE Hello new readers! The website above has been updated so the map works again.

When GT6's GPS Course Maker feature comes out, this'll be the first thing I'll do: beat Bolian's time!

This is awesome. You can see where he was braking into corners and then flooring it out of them.

Get in line. Myself and another fine Oppo member have been contemplating/calculating this for about a year.

Thanks! I was wishing I knew how to do/had the time for something like this.
Edit: Wish I had time so you could click a point and see the exact speed and time of day.

I actually think I'm going to do that next, as it was one of my original thoughts. I should be able to do it so that when you zoom in, the points become clear and you can click for more info

This is amazing. I think it shows why nobody called the police on them - they slowed down for cars, and hammered it when the road was clear.

Was fun revisiting this work, 5 years later.

Wow, I completely forgot about this one! Fortunately I still host that website so I fixed the Google Map and now it’s visible again. Thanks for bringing it back!
