Default Regarding all the discussion between F1 and the R8 - If you put both on the same track at the same

time it would be a toss up. The R8 would win half the time, and the F1 would win the other half. If you had to give the nod towards one, the F1 would probably win more consistantly, but again it's a toss up.

Default no.

R8 is a big fat heavy pig compared to an F1 car.

Default I hope you are not serious. The race would not even be close. The F1 car would so totally dominate

the R8R that it would not even be worth discussing. Please tell me you are joking. An F1 car has more power, weighs less, runs dramatically higher turning G's, and don't even start talking about brakes.

If the track was long enough (ie: Gumball) , the R8 would be the only one to finish one lap.

Default Are you smoking crack?

R8: 2000 lbs., 600hp
F1: 1350 lbs., 850hp

Plust just look at how fast things happen in F1. R8's are nowhere nearly as fast as F1! There is probably nearly as much difference in lap times between a GTS car and an R8 as there is between an R8 and a F1 car.
