OT. Two wheels vs four wheels vs Wings at Silverstone this past July...
For all those that think a bike is faster than a car around a track well here's the proof it isn't, four wheels will always be faster than two...
However both of them get a whopping by an aerobatic airplane.
All are sponsored by RED BULL.
Jonathan Rea on a Honda Superbike.
David Coulthard in the Red Bull F1 racing car.
Steve Jones in the aerobatic airplane, I believe an Extra 300.
The bike laps Silverstone in 1:57 and is a whopping 26 seconds slower than the F1 car driven by David who lapped the circuit in 1:31.
However they both get a good thrashing by the airplane that lapped/flew around the circuit in 1:04, that's 27 seconds faster than the F1 car and an amazing 53 seconds faster than the Superbike!
I would really like to know how many Gs the aircraft and pilot pulled to remain within the confines of the track to beat the F1 car by that much. Knowing an F1 car can pull up to 5 Gs on certain tracks I can only assume the pilot was pulling close to 9 Gs.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojX84GfRNQo&mode=related&search="> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojX84GfRNQo&mode=related&search=</a</li></ul>
