Allseeing, it was a Giarrdo so it's not exactly a huge car...........not sure what your point was.

Next week they are doing the same thing but this time the car is some kind of track-bred racer so it's not exactly a fair fight. Nothing can beat a bike in terms of price over performance. Impressive riding from the guy on the duke!!

Don't know about anyone else but I'd love to see Shumacher vs Rossi!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!

(although that damn Ferrari goes round corners on rails)

... and when cars get that fast, you just can't get a bike to out-gun it on the straights 'cos the front wheel just comes up all the time.

yeah, thinking about it, the dame F1 car would probably win.

Faster corner speed, better launch. bah, who cares, F1 is ****.

The only reason F1 cars go round corners so fast is downforce... so to make it fair I suggest we sabotage the car by removing the wings

Although shumi would probably run rossi over if he thought he was going to lose

I can't remember which program it was, but recently a TV show 'did' a F1 car vs a Fireblade vs a powerboat somewhere. Forget the power boat... The Fireblade was all there for a few hundred meters off the line then the F1 car passed it like it was standing still.

That was fifth gear too... The bike never had a chance once the F1 car got its grip down.... Still quite close tho

what about F1 verse the ducati GP bike (desmocedichi), I heard it has a launch control system and we know it can reach 215+mph with wee caparosi on board. that would be a close one.
