Great feedback. On the Inverness to Gibraltar race the leaderboard has impossible times, including some negative numbers. According to Google Maps the best time is 1 day 8 hours, but this requires leaving Inverness at 6:44. The race starts at 9:00. Then the earliest arrival time in Paris is 22:19. According to Google Maps the best time from Paris to Gibraltar at this time of night is 1 day 2 hours. Despite all this, there are several 1 day records. The best I can do is 2 days 5 hours. Of course I may be missing some better route, but I suspect cheating, especially from names like AdolfHitler.
