    This 6-speed automatic is not the fastest i gearbox, the 12-speed scania gearbox with the retarder (1.00 final drive, 3.08 diff) is the fastest one, you will need the biggest tires you can get, with all this you could reach an easy 120mph downhill. You will also need to start the drive at around midnight so the traffic doesn’t slow you down.

    The IGT (in game time) category makes using the Call for emergency slower, so you'll want to compare your time to those runs. The WR for Edinburgh to London in that category is 3h50m with a real time of 16m59s, so not bad at all.

    dvrk's record technically doesn't count as a speedrun, moreso a "skip-run". You should use the Volvo 750HP or Scania R730 with the 12-speed manual transmissions, NO retarder (as that grabs you and throws you if you brake too hard), and use the 315/80 tyres to increase your top speed. I was able to get up to 181km/h (~112mph) sustained in these configs, and 171km/h max (~107mph) with the standard tyres

    If you want more ETS ideas - me and a few friends pioneered something called Jobs Racing - you have a starting city and a finish city, and you have to get their via the random job market, and you're not allowed to use the job market in the menu, so the only way to discover new jobs is to drive to the individual depots.
    Had some surprisingly tense races, including four of us on the same road in Slovakia, but none of us knowing how far away we were from each other, and making up a 700 mile deficit to win whilst a friend got every single Finnish city except got the one we agreed as the finish line.

      You would start in Aberdeen, and try and get a trailer that goes as far south as possible, to say, Sheffield for instance. From there you'd drive around trying to get somewhere further south and closer to Milan, and so on and so on - I'm making it sound more complex than it is, but the general rule is - get from point a to point b only using trailers the game has generated at random in the job market.
