from dt watching I think the best thing to avoid is main roads in most of eastern Europe, especially at night, not for speed but mostly of still being alive purposes.
something like the data produced for strava heatmaps but for cars would be very useful in this.

Depends on your strengths. I'm 20-30kg heavier than most of the racers so I will do distance to save climbing in most cases. There's also choices when it comes to countries with and without streetview making finding banned/shit roads easier, visa issues, general driving ability of the people, dogs, heat, wind, etc.

I've got a map of Europe on my wall with thumb tacks stuck into where the checkpoints are. Current route planning consists of red thread connecting the tacks and was just going to take that with me.

Anyone started their route planning yet? Have been focusing on riding the bike so nothing done here but have seen that some have finished their planning already! Best to wait till the banned road list comes out?
Talk to me about last year, was the general consensus that it was quicker to head the flatter route slightly further East or the hillier route slightly further west? (talking about heading down to the first checkpoint here - realise they're in different places but same general direction)
