Troublesome Challenge - Please Drive Faster

Wondering if anyone else has been able to nail this one.

Please Drive Faster
Maintain full cruising speed for 1.9 miles (3058 m) while driving the "Righteous Spike" Archangel

As far as I am aware, there's no way for me to determine how far 3058m is in the game. If I go into wasteland statistics in the menu I can see how far I've travelled in a vehicle, but the unit it uses is vehicle length, not meters. According to the internet, the average length of a car is about 4.5 meters, so 3058 meters divided by 4.5 is about 680 car lengths. If this accurately translates in-game, then one would be able to use the wasteland statistics area as a metric for determining the distance you would need to travel at full cruising speed. Just drive in a straight line until your statistic has increased by 680 units to get a physical representation of how far you need to travel.

Notes:
1. Assuming travel over sand is slower than travel over asphalt, therefore sand would not allow you to maintain full cruising speed. I have attempted to do this along stretches of the Dunes roadways, but the asphalt is often broken up with patches of sand, seemingly lowering my speed.

2. Assuming the most optimal place to complete this challenge is on a cleared out convoy track, but which one? Presumably one in Jeet's territory is best since roadways seem more clear. Gutgash is probably hardest due to arguably more mountainous, twisty track design.

3. Assuming you cannot use boosts to go above full cruising speed.

4. Assuming there is a cruising speed 'bracket' you have to stay within, not a static number, otherwise there must be a perfectly suitable stretch of straight, level asphalt somewhere on the map.

Tips & Tricks on this one are quite welcome!

The entire length of the Blackmaws convoy track happens to be about 600 car lengths, to give an idea as to how far you'll need to drive, assuming my theory is correct.

Side note: Blackmaws convoy seems to be a poor choice due to the far North and far South sharp turns. It seems like Fuel Veins North or maybe Fuel Veins South might be better convoy options.

Start on the road that is right above the "T" in "The Dunes Region" take the road west it will lead through "Rot'n'Rusties", past the "Even Rip" death run, and ends just north of the Wind Farm in "Knit Sack." I did use boosts to get across the sandy areas of the road and still got a completion. Hope this helps!

Your method worked perfectly. I got it on my first try, right as I was making a head-on collision with a pack of buzzards. Extremely happy to be done with this challenge. Thank you very much for your suggestion.

Using boosters pretty freqently, especially over hills and across sandy patches, starting where you suggested above the T in The Dunes Region by the bridge. I drove west toward Even Rip death run and didn't quite make it there when I got the challenge complete. Huzzah!

I tried what others had suggested and kept running off the road or slowing down due to sand or whatever. For anyone else that may be having problems with this challenge I was able to complete it on my first try by using the convoy route in Fuel Veins.

I just boosted around the turns and ended up pooching it right before I completed my first lap but apparently that was enough distance for the challenge. Start at the Death Run to the east of the convoy track and loop counter-clockwise.

It's the road from the buried airport to the third stronghold. Just start from the airport, take the road on the south and ride along, the challenge will be completed almost right before your arrival at the stronghold.
