Default Which would you like to drive?

If you had the choice of a once in a life time opportunity what would you go for?
F1 Car-one from the V10 era
Moto GP bike-1000CC version

I'd have to say F1 car

Dodge Challenger - 1970!

Screw F1 cars and I'd probably break my neck on a 1000cc

Gotta be the bike mate. I remember the Top Gear episode where Hammond drove an F1. There was a sudden ramp up in nut girth required to be able to take corners, because you had to hammer it to get the downforce to work. At least with the GP bike, you can slowly up the pace each lap.

However the above appeals alot more, but then so would an F1 car from the Turbo era. 1500bhp approx in qualifying trim

This is my take on it...

If we rode a litre GP bike, although very quick, it would feel like a very quick sportsbike, people who have rode quick bikes would probably IMO be not that overwhelmed by it, but drive a modern F1 car and it will be nothing like most of us have driven, not even close, so for that reason, the f1 car.
