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

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.

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.....

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

Just pull one or two of Coulthard's plug caps off to even it up a bit
