The last bastion of speed falls to the mentalists, this is such a shame. Other than private circuits where else can you stretch the legs of your automobile?

Er, calm down eh? Firstly, the autobahn is largely speed limited anyway, the derestricted bits are in the distinct minority, although they do of course exist. This piece is about one region in Germany that has now introduced a speed limit on what derestricted autobahn they have.

There's still derestricted bits left, so while this is doubtless the beginning of the end, it's not quite over yet.
