How fast would you have to drive around the world to always remain in daylight. Let's assume we were driving on a bridge built at the equator.

To finish the previous answerer's answer:
approx 1,038mph is what I think they meant instead of just 1,038miles.
The earth at the equator is just over 24,000 miles in circumference. There are approx 24 hours per revolution on its axis. So, that equates to approx 1,000mph. So, not even the Thrust SSC [SuperSonicCar] could do that, it could only just break the sound barrier.

A) Would it really matter? Becuase there is no car built that can go fast enough.
B) Even if there was a car fast enough, eventually I would get tired and want to sleep ... so the darkness would catch me.
C) What's wrong with darkness in the first place?

fast enough to keep up with the sun, so you would neet rocket propulsion, minimum.
