Looking forward to it. Just finished watching a 5th Gear where Tiff got himself dusted off by a chap on an RC8.

Re: Guy Martin vs David Coulthard (Speed F1 Special)
I'd expect Guy to get smoked.
He's got a miniscule advantage on power-to-weight but a huge disadvantage thrust-to-drag. And the car has a huge amount more traction.

Re: Guy Martin vs David Coulthard (Speed F1 Special)
Bike is in with a good shout on outright acceleration, but will get completely owned on the brakes and fast corners. Even a decent GT car can see a bike off in the right conditions, anybody who has been to the Nurburgring will have learnt first hand what you can take on and where.....

Re: Guy Martin vs David Coulthard (Speed F1 Special)
The F1 is closer to a aircraft than a car with the amount of aero it uses.
Depends on the circuit but according to the circuit records, Schumacher lapped Jerez in 1.15.5 in a Ferrari F1 in testing. Fastest MotoGP is 1.39.5 (JL) and WSB 1.41.7 (TS). Depends if GM can get to the corner first and block

Re: Guy Martin vs David Coulthard (Speed F1 Special)
Just pull one or two of Coulthard's plug caps off to even it up a bit
