Guy finished his race then goes about his business propping the bike on the stand slipping the warmers....crew of 2. Legend
Ummmm no. It is totally meaningless. Just like the rest of the video.
@@thomaselliott573 Hey Thomas, smile occasionally mate. Maybe then you'll not be the sour-puss that your comment makes you seem.
Take the video for what it was. A group of guys, having a good time.

I love how the bike pit crew is one dude :P.
+MyRandomLife247 I bet he rode the bike home too
+Trub1n ha ha, true, and the car is not street legal :)
It is well known that Guy likes to wrench on his own stuff. He's a very hands on kind of Guy. It's almost fitting.
Beard Man he used to be a truck mechanic
Callum Penman I swear he still is, he just does these racing bits and things like that as a hobby
"So.. Guy.. how do you want to build up after your 6 months injury?"
"How about racing a F1 car?"
Legend.
The sound of the normally aspirated V8/V10 are so missed.
and V12s
It's hilarious now to remember that when the V10s were dropped and the V8s came in, the fans complained that they didn't sound good. If only they knew what was to come!
Naturally*
@@markmatic5718 I stand corrected.
still slower
Helping David is his downforce...
Helping Guy is his balls...
+CrazyBuzzy1 Though it does take balls to actually trust the downforce, since it's very counter-intuitive :P
+Google KD watch the Isle of man TT race and then tell me who has more balls.
+Google KD you mean to tell me all them rich people who pay to drive in f1 cars in the clienti program have balls?
+Google KD hahahaha you're funny
+Google KD look do yourself a favor and research how many people died in the ilse of man tt is 246. And how many people died driving f1 cars since it started. 53 f1 drivers have died
To all the people saying they should have used a MotoGP bike. The only difference it would have made would have been the F1 car winning by a slightly smaller margin. Here's why:
Silverstone 2016 - British F1 GP and British MotoGP - exactly the same circuit layout...
MotoGP Lap Record - 2' 01.941" (or 121.941 seconds) x 3 laps = 365.823 seconds.
Fastest Ever MotoGP Lap - 2' 00.234" (or 120.234 seconds) x 3 laps = 360.702 seconds.
Fastest 2016 Lap (Marquez in FP3) - 2' 00.994" (or 120.994 seconds) x 3 laps = 362.982 seconds.
F1 Qualifying Pole - 1' 29.243" (or 89.243 seconds) x 4 laps = 356.972 seconds.
*The MotoGP fastest time was from Free Practice as Qualifying was wet.* The figures are taken from the official MotoGP and Formula 1 websites.
So by the above figures if Lewis Hamilton did 4 pole laps in a row and Marc Marquez did 3 lap records in a row, the F1 car would still overtake the bike and win the challenge by 3.73 seconds; or if the bike only repeated the 2016 best lap 3 times in a row the F1 would win by 6.01 seconds.
Yes an F1 car can do 4 laps of Silverstone faster than a MotoGP bike can do 3 laps!
Oh and on the subject of top speeds, the highest MotoGP top speed at Silverstone this year was 324.9 kph / 201.88 mph. The highest top speed in the F1 race was 334.2 kph / 207.66 mph.
The highest top speed in F1 so far this season was at the European GP at Baku where the fastest was Valteri Bottas (Williams) with 378 kph / 234.87 mph.
Monza also produced high speeds as usual with several cars getting close to 360 kph / 224 mph!
Thats a long commentary. Why bother ? We don't read more than 2 sentences.
@@team3383 yours is a really useless comment.
Why bother even commenting on someone else's comment unless you are adding to it? Just because you can't read more than two sentences without getting distracted doesn't mean others won't enjoy reading all the detail. Twat.
@@thedave7760 If you thin about it, my comment is very constructive.
Just telling the man that "short" and "to the point" is read alot more than an encyclopedia of information.
@@team3383 Yeah well I have been thinning about it and for those who are interested in the detail he put his encyclopedic comment they will be bothered to read it, I did. I'm sure he doesn't care how many people read his comment. Your comment was useless to those people. Why did you bother.
Just let people say what they want even if you thin it is TMI.
Shut up ignorant, moto gp top speed is dovizioso at Mugello with 362 kmh/225 mph
Real genuine bloke, gets his hands dirty, no snobbery, you got to love him!
Couldn't stop smiling. What a good video! I love bikes, but damn, the F1 car is superbly impressive.
+snowcat Snowcat?
I agree. A couple entertaining Gents as well. thanks for posting up the link. I wonder how that F1 would do against a T-Max? ;-)
+snowcat Once you go bike, you never go back but let's be honest, Formula One is out of this world.
+snowcat you seen Guys wall of death rides?
+snowcat I love both of these modes of transportation and both blokes here are quite awesome as well.. just an awesome video overall.. Having a moto GP bike and a Formula One car in my garage would the perfect dream garage hahah.. at least for me..
Guy Martin, fucking LEGEND!
Agreed
+Guy Wood You got that shit right my friend.
Absolutely
I love that theyre both very skilled competetive racers, and even though they race in different places and on different machines, i love that you can tell the both of them hold a huge amount of respect and maybe even a bit of awe at what the other does.
One of the things you have to love about our Guy is that all the other teams he takes on have huge convoys of support trucks, mechanics etc and he turns up in a transit size van and his mate to help. We Northerners know how to do it easier and simpler. Keep tha' chin up lad!!
That front wing has more money in development than that bike team spends in a season. Okay, maybe not that extreme, but the dev costs for aero in F1 is insane.
The front wing? Perhaps the screws that hold it... :D
Absolutley awesome, two really fantastic Guys in a nice Competition. Thats what I call personalities in racing. DC one of my favourite Racedriver in F1, miss him in F1.
And GM , what a racer , awesome this guy. Best regards from Germany
Quite agree. The BBC should get these two guys to present Top Gear - now that would be good!
Guy Martin is one of the greatest road racers in the world. He is a true legend
yep
Guys,
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
The Respect is as amazing as the Speed. Cheers to both teams.
I had a big smile on my face all the way through this video. No axe to grind either way, so I just enjoyed it for what it is!
Loved the speed,technical aspect of car and bike.But what a pair of legends David and Guy for putting on a great show great respect.
“Barely lifts the throttle” downshifts twice
Guy Martin is my favorite bike legend
The bike was matching / beating the 2019 William's the whole race
I love that Red Bull do this sort of stuff, such a great team. Also all their display days, fantastic
Perfect ambassador for bikes and the English spirit. You're a gem Guy Martin. Respect to David too. Great video.
I watch both Races on a regular basis. I have been watching for the past 10 years and know both technical regulations, weather conditions, tires, wind speed, track temperature and other elements. On the track, nothing beats an F1 car, not even a MotoGP bike with 260Hp. I have watched both races live. I like the speed of a MotoGP bike in the straight. But the F1 car is just crazy fast under braking and cornering. Lap times at silver stone 2017 F1.

Lewis Hamilton
Bike riders are sure a lot more hands on than F1 drivers. They help pack and everything. Very nice humble attitude.
Guy Martin imo a bloody legend
My pal was a schoolmate of Couthard's Dad in Scotland, so there.
How have I missed this? Two of the most thoughtful, intelligent racers on the planet. Brilliant stuff.
Schumacher in Belgium would disagree lol
Such an apples to oranges comparison. Two totally different automotive engineering feats in two totally different classes of vehicles. You can't even compare the two. That being said the point being made was crystal clear. F1 formula racing cars are an engineering marvel taking cars to the pinnacle of speed and cornering. Absolutely glorious.
Well, in that case there is no true way to compare, as drag races aren't really fair either.
The car and bike cannot be compared. Car has much more down force and much larger contact patch . well Done Guy!
I agree there is no comparison. As we clearly see, bikes are terribly slow.
theerealrossi rb holy shit rocket scientist over here
These two childish replies, I tell you what fat boys get a fast bike and see how you get on you will both shit yourselves.
It's only for a bit of fun and entertainment at the end of the day
Guy Martin is my inspiration what a champ.
Guy just got done racing an F1 car and as soon as he's done, he's knee on the ground putting his own warmers on the bike. Love him.
I was able to see this event live, so happy
This was about as unevenly matched as an office chair race between Jo Brand and Warwick Davis
+digitalsketchguy Don't underestimate the importance of momentum
😂
Bet David can't keep up with Guy on Isle of Mann
I'd genuinely like to see an F1 car try to lap the mountain course... i don't know if it would even fit.
To be fair, no one can do that. lol
It's an F1 it would destroy the bikes at every turn
@@user-rd5nc1nb9f Mark Higgins in a rally car lapped the TT course at 129mph.Fastest speed was 170mph.Would love to see an F1 car tackle the Mountain Course but can't ever see it happening.Back in 1967 there was talk of Mike Hailwood on the Honda 500 taking on John Surtees in the Honda F1car over 1 lap of the TT course.But of course it never happened!
those cars are fast and would smoke any bike at sheer amount of top speed and downforce momentum...however they're extremely flimsy and would annihilate themselves on a mountain terrain with even the smallest bump in the road
That looked like crazy amounts of fun.
Wat an awesome guy..... I wasw never a big bike fan, buyu Guy Martin has opened my eyes... Love the guys love for life ... WHAT A GUYS GUY!!!!!! Major kudo"s from South Africa... My admiration grows with every clip i watch.... A real nice guy
All about the corners. Love motogp but there is no way you can compete with huge down force and 4 wheels. Pull away in straights.
+Jay Trock make it fair take away down force and traction control, then go to Isle of mann
lloyd brown Don't forget motorcycle have traction control too. I agree that would be interesting. Love to see the F1s do the jumps.
Jay Trock
Yeah I know I hate modern stuff, I like bikes and cars, but car racers get so arrogant as If they are better pilots, with advantages that are not typically fair, then make the bikes look crap cause of over compensation with extra laps and stuff
@@yeshua9323 f1 cars don't use traction control.
Also why take away the downforce? It's nature of a car to have downforce (or lift)
You wanna take away the downforce from the f1 car then put on weight to the bike, because "it's not fair"
@@adodoes8770 ? please watch video again, he clearly says do you want TC to David Cooltard
Should use a MotoGP bike. Maximum 2 wheels vs Maximum 4 wheels.
Not gonna lie. I’d mainly just really like to see Guy Martin on a GP prototype bike. 😉
I think guy his current bike is faster then a motogo one honestly... since its also his bike of iomtt
Godz Fear
GP bikes are the fastest track bikes in the world. It’s not even close. Nearly 1/2 the weight and 250+ horsepower.
The moto GP bikes are still slower around a track compared to the F1 cars
ThePointlessBox_
Absolutely true. No bike can compete with the downforce on these cars.
Never said it would change who’s the fastest.
I’d just like to see how much the split would be with the fastest race bikes in the world.
In reality I’d just like to see Guy grinning ear to ear at the prospect of riding a GP bike flat out. It would take him awhile to get used to it.
Who of us can truly say they’ve had the privilage of racing against a world championship winning F1 car in anger on a super bike? Very very few indeed. Awesome moment in time captured gentlemen👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Guy Martin amazes me he lights up about being a f-1 mechanic he just loves all aspects of the sport he's an amazing man the more I learn the more I wish I could just hang out with him for a day and just listen to him talk about things his passion reminds me of a kid when he gets his first dirt bike and it never went away for him and I love that what a great man he is and can he ride the wheels off a bike 2018 I hope he wins the senior tt he's won everything else
Moral of this story, it takes a F-1 car to beat a superbike. That's not bad at all for the bikes.
+markurbancowboy yep you're right mate. :) I wonder if the F1 Cars today could catch up to that bike? hahaha
+Herbert Joseph Matulac Yes, 2016 F1 cars are on par with the fastest F1 cars in the history.
+Herbert Joseph Matulac Actually this weekends lap record of Bahrain proved that the 1.6 turbo is now becoming faster than the V10. Let's see if they really want to go to 1000hp next year with 450 tires at the rear, that would make things even better. :)
+markurbancowboy On an asexual, pristine track, i might add... Lets see these two go at it in real world conditions, on the Isle of man TT, or NW200. One bump and its all over for the F1.
+fahrvergnügen I doubt we'll see 1000hp, Bernie was shooting that down in flames last year. the 450 rear tyres are almost certain
Guy says “a hundred percent!”... the captions say “honk upset...”
I was flying the filming helicopter for the 2 days, it was a lot of fun. The TV program shows a lot more tasks between them.
Two gentlemen of racing right here. If there's a sweeter sound than an F1 or a superbike, I've never heard it.
I'm here just to read some ridiculous arguments
coawler oz and would you like the 5 minute argument or the full half hour? :D
@@jorgeferreira2009 No I didn't.....
Well played by the way.
@@geoffbeyer1873 I was only arguing on my spare time
@@jorgeferreira2009 no you weren't.
@@misterprecocious2491 I told you I cannot argue unless you pay.
Do not know why people are complaining that they used a production oriented bike. Even with a MotoGP bike, the fastest time is still 30 seconds slower than the F1 car. The sheer grip added from downforce means entry, mid, and exit speeds in corners is much higher. Braking and acceleration can be much more aggressive because of no fear of flipping. I love bikes, and for the money, not much can beat them, but against F1, nothing really stands a chance on a racetrack, other than another F1 car, and maybe Indy setup with high downforce.
yep . exactly what I thought
wolverhampton biker It easily goes with all the rest of the bickering back and forth too. Can easily say throw the GP or TT on a Finnish or Sweden rally with a Group B or Group A car. Oh the drag strip with a top bike? pro mod, pro stock, alcohol classes will match it easy, funny and top fuel destroy it. In the end, with normal prices not a free car, the bike will be faster than a car dollar for dollar. But until much stickier tires, more lean angle, and somehow a dynamic downforce system that can be used in straights and turns are added to a bike, good luck.
they should have raced at dundrod , would have been funny to see coulthard shit himself before he went into a field and wrecked the f1 car and have a farmer threaten him for killing his cows
camokoy As much as that is an awesome street circuit, it is an entirely bias race to the bike. Like the comment I made before, Silverstone is the fairest place they really could have gone. Both vehicle classes race there, while four wheeled vehicles all but stopped racing Dundrod, though they still are on RAC.
***** bikes accelerate better cars corner and brake better but if you mix the two you get the best a smartzuki , a smart car with a hayabusa engine, twice the power to weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron for ten grand
"Man crush", David looks like an actor and Guy looks like rock star. They are both Gods in their respective sport.
Totally awesome, much thanks to both drivers and their team for making this happen!
thats why sportbikes are awesome: they are cheaper than the F1 cars steering wheel, but can achieve 3/4 of it''s pace. Its not a bad thing, since the f1 is a fkin monster :)
id bet my mx5 cost less than 1 of the bikes tyres and its probably half as fast round the lap lol
The two best accents in motorsport !
Guy Martin the ultimate racer and what a top man to totally down to earth
Great VId. Guy is just a hero in my books, with his hair always looking windblown like he just got off a bike without a helmet on and David, who always seems to be just a good man. Seeing the two of them out there doing their thing is very entertaining.
I knew f1 cars were fast but when you put it like this it just shows how fast they really are.
NOT about fast....but turning......Turning is how you GAIN seconds on the clock.......Superbike WINS if you go straight line Top speed.
Should have put Guy in the F1 and David on the Bike afterwards and had best of two.😆
The skill required to ride any fast bike is unparalleled!!!
They are incredible machines!!!
Not to take anything away from F1 drivers, but since the era of the 80s and 90s, the cars are just a laptop with wheels!
Great video! I enjoyed the attitudes of the competitors. It was entertaining and in good fun.
The comparison is simply based on three major factors:
1) power to weight ratio - this is why the bike can take off from the starting line faster, but that's the only time that makes a difference
2) two tires braking power versus four: double the coefficient of friction. This was clearly demonstrated in the final pass.
3) most significantly - the centrifugal force in the turns: the relativity of the mass of the human against the centre of mass of the vehicle.
On the bike the mass of the human is both a significantly higher % of the total mass, and that mass is also outside the centre of gravity of the vehicle - hence the need for the human to move his mass to counter the centrifugal force in the corners. If the bike could theoretically lay right down on it's side then the bike could go through the turns just as fast. The mass of the driver of the car is located very close to the centre of gravity of the car, which alone makes for the most significant reason why the car does not roll over. The added two wheels and down draft from the fins are also significant factors, but to a lesser extent. You could take the fins right off the car, and it would still soundly defeat the bike. It might not be by as much margin, but the bike still stands no chance because of the physics of the centrifugal force and two wheels versus four being able to counteract that force.
Now lets see them both on the TT course...
+Con Kawa Or in rally Finland!
+Your Friend True,though i wasnt talking about the drivers,but about the vehicles.They always compare them one way or another
Con Kawa
Sacrasm detector didn't go off? Point is nothing is more fair then driving them on a track like this.
Wouldnt say its fair to compare something with a whole lot of electronics and aero with something that doesnt have any of them.Yeah,the bike has some traction control but thats pretty much it.To be fair they would have to compare the top of both worlds and would use a gp bike.Not an sbk.Bike would still be slower though.And i m not saying anything about the difference in cost between the 2
+Your Friend Or on the Yungas Road. :D
Let's see a rematch at the IOMTT. :)
The bumps would tear a hole through the floorboards and leave exposed bum. And the jumps might leave some room for air to get under and flip over the car.
@@wu-wisdom2064
1 colulthard actually had that happen once due to suspension problem. it burnt ihis arse haha.
2 the car wouldnt get airbourne over the crests because of the ridiculous downforce
@@Scoobydcs even if it did jump,it will come down hard enough to break the suspension and the drivers spine
@@Scoobydcs Lots of the IOM lap the car wouldn't reach the speeds to create that downforce, we're basically talking about country roads two lanes wide driven on daily even before and after racing by lorries, cars and bikes spilling diesel and other fluids, its not a flat surface anywhere either and then theres the trees, the stone walls the street furniture which is why you get zero moto gp guys doing the TT and I suspect those car heroes would think the same way about all that too. It takes a special kind of racer to compete in the TT.
@@fornicateu2 f1 cars genetrate over 1g downforce at 60mph! theyd have to be going slower than that to get airborne
Guy was probably more interested in the lorry carting the F1 car at the end than the F1 car it’s self !!
Nothing but respect for both worlds✌️
How about a rematch on the TT course?
Hey. That would be a good one.
Well even just a Subaru WRX has lapped there at roughly the same speed as the fastest superbikes. An F1 car would need some modification to survive the bumps I expect, but it would of course slaughter the lap record.
Obviously 4 wheels is faster but, but if you put up the formula one of 4 wheels then shouldn't the bike have been a motogp bike?
+MrKdr500 yes and yes
+MrKdr500 The result would have been the same, especially if you used a faster F1 car like a 2004 V10 F1 car with 950hp or the 2016 V6 turbo hybrids with also 950hp, lap times and straight line performance is much better than this V8 shit.
F1sasha errrm 1:33:401 for the f1
Lap times between superbikes ad motogp bikes is pretty small actually.
Robert Wood Lewis Hamilton pole lap F1 2017 1:26.600 :D
A fabulous display of respect for what the OTHER racer does. Wish I could see a similar display in ANY venue in the US...
I am amazed at the level of passion Guy has for life and speed and in general for having fun. I would like to meet him for a pint one day!
Should of used the Kawasaki H2r or a moto gp Ducati
Joel Warren Fishing you know that bike is probably faster
It takes far more skill to ride the bike. I would like to see a video where Guy is in the car and David is on the bike and see who can get closest to the others time. David would not stand a chance!!
Oh Guy..you are so diligent, even after the race you are still help to pick up the stuff
Guy has done well to come back after having such a bad accident, he didn't look as if he lost his nerve at all, well done again matey!
+Mark Leadbeater for him to give it some takes real balls.
I'm happy with the result, but I'd like to see it with a motogp bike and rider on a circuit which gives a bit less downforce advantage. I'm sure the F1 car would still win, but I don't think this test was a particularly fair one.
2'03.308 Jorge Lorenzo motogp
Vs.
2'04.091 Cal Crutchlow wsbk
Around silverstone.
It's not that much between them now and would have put Cal 5th on the motogp grid on his superbike.
I love motor bike racing of any kind 👍👍
John Stots, you really miss the point: 4 wheels will always beat 2 wheels in this environment. Simple science. But is like comparing David and Goliath, what the 1000cc two wheel bike manages is phenomenal in comparison and is no where near the expense and cost of an F1 car. Also takes a braver man to ride the bike at these speeds as not protected by a big sissy cage. Top speed difference is just 10mph, is the corners car beats bike, 4 very large wide wheels, 4 sets of brakes with the bike having half this. Under these circumstances the bike is simply fecking awesome!!
john lightbody since when does an open wheel F1 car have a cage you fucking idiot you obviously don't know shit and he didn't miss the point he was letting people know who keep saying it should have been a GP bike that it wouldn't matter.
john lightbody oh and look up the amount of death's in F1 compared to Moto GP and see which is more dangerous.
Chaos Fruitbat I like to see f1 and motor gp on a straight way see how fast they go
" just a 21 second lead " this guy knows nothing
Show's like this, 2 seater moto gp bike and 2 seater F1 car are such entertainment. What fun for us if the 2 seaters were brought back to televised meetings.
If Ivan Drago and Jay Leno had a baby you'd get David Coulthard
Guy = GREAT
Just wish I could understand what he's saying!
Love F1, too much of a p*ssy to ever ride a bike that fast and guy Martin is a living legend. Such a cool vid.
Thanks , always such fun to watch. All for the love of sport. Guy, Dave and teams you guys rock.
Fantastic clip @North One- all the best from Norway
Hang on - Superbike versus Formula 1....!!!??? Bit unfair to the bike - yes, it still would be faster, but shouldn't it be a MotoGP bike versus Formula 1 - top of the 'heap' for both 4 wheels and two wheels????
i mean doesnt really matter it would be seconds. keep in mind one of these superbikes is like max 120,000$ while an f1 car is like 40 million dollars. in terms of cost it isnt entirely fair
why don't people just get it in there head nothing beats an f-1 car not Evan gp bikes.
The sound the F1 car makes from 2:30 - 2:35, awesome.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Two awesome icons with massive respect for each other getting to explore different worlds. Boys and and their toys, lucky devils.
But in the end Guy popped a wheelie! Suck that David.😂😂
Pedro Rodrigues salty much?
they have a full team and there is only two of us, doesn't matter if you had a million people on guys team, the F1 bike will always be inferior to an F1 car, end off.
That was freaking COOL. Never understood the difference. Guy Martin, who I've never really followed before, was AMAZING. That that Red Bull car.. wow.
Awesome awesome stuff. Great sportsmanship. Glad these teams could get together for some fun like this!
Guy Martin is a legend , David Coulthard just mid packer in F1
GSA didn't know beating Hakkinen in 1997 and 2001 and finishing 2nd and 3rd many times amongst 24 drivers was midpack. That said, True midpackers would still be amongst the 10-12 best in the world.He beat Barichello in an inferior car 2000-2001. No one would beat Schumie in an equal car let alone those magnificent Ferraris from 2000-2004. To me Barichello,Alesi,Villeneuve,Trulli,Ralf and DC were on a similar level but in 2001 DC or Ralf was the 2nd best driver in the world which is not midpack. Frentzen was close to those guys but did worse in 1997 than DC did in 1998-2001 so the pressure got to him even more. Harald didn't have many mechanical dnfs like DC did. Guy competed in a lower level form of bike racing. His success is much like Yoongs in the A1 GP.
Adam Petten What about racing for best team Red Bull ? What did he accomplish there ? Guy was a mid packer , that’s all
GSA By his last two seasons in qualifying...sure but he outpointed Webber till his final season. Webber was well down the standings too in 2007-2008. The car wasn't really good until 2009 which was after DC retired in 2008. Webber was not a midpacker either just because he didn't win the championship.
13 F1 wins and 62 podiums is better than midpack. Schumi and Mika were his main rivals. That's serious company.
@@markjurczyk Red Bull were a mid table team 'til 2010 (the car DC helped develop and test drive after retiring in 2008) then they won 4 straight titles 2010-2013, so DC never competed with Red Bull when they were "any good".
And F1 car destroys a Motogp bike around the track too. They are just impressive machines.
+Dimitry “Dino” Tirenosr You're dead right mate. People want to see the extreme limits of what's possible not hobbled, generic machines. And I say same goes for the Olympics. Man, Take every steroid your body can take then get out there and go crazy.
+Fletcher DeMaine There are morals that we have to uplift and stick to. Using steroids will harm or even kill a person in the long term, just like too much speed is reckless and dangerous. I get that it's interesting and it would allow some amazing action, but at the same time you have to consider the dangers.
YESS on cornering and braking its a no brainer however s motogp bike is a totally different animal still wouldn't touch a f1 car in the corners sbd braking but it would have won over a 3 lap vs 4 lap with s motogp rider.. Also a motogp bike has higher top speed then v6-v8 and v10 on every track they compete on the same track higher top speed that says somthing about the insane acceleration of the motogp bike..
+Steve Hash Not really, but generally yes. The highest speed achieved by an f1 car on a race track was at monza in 2005, 372-373kph. The highest speed achieved by a motogp bike is 360-365kph, I believe.
LEARN TO READ i said on the SAME TRACK THEY COMPETE IN gz fucking christ and no f1 wont touch motogp on top speed ON SAME TRACK.. On china GP F1 v10 was hitting 336kph motogp 354kph on catalunya f1 v10 334kph motogp 349kph
terrific video...miss the sound of that generation of F1 cars a lot....Guy Martin is a bada$$ - watch some of his rides in the TT....crazy.....
Absolutely fantastic challenge, well done!!!
oh shit I forgot my toaster on...oh no sorry, it was the new F1 car....
+Mulkyan Uhm... did you turn on your ears? That is a Red Bull RB8, from the 2012 season. Sounds amazing.
guy shouldve been on a moto gp bike not a tt superbike.
+m ej he didnt have one, that bikes his ;)
+m ej wouldn't have mattered.
Would have been 2 s faster with MotoGP than with SB, would not really matter.
Highly doubt that MotoGP bike can go as fast around corners as that F1 car. Also, that's the V8 F1, the V10s are even faster.
should have been a moto gp bike against a formula 3 car
Love how the f1 car has a huge truck with custom interior and guy has a transit XD
So the two people in direct competition just show respect for the other driver/rider, for the skill they have and an admiration for what they drive/ride.
Comment section, a bunch of people arguing which is better still.
This is when F1 cars weren't driven by politically correct hybrid power units and they sounded fantastic
The sad part is that the F1 cars of today are actually quicker.
I remember seeing this when it was aired on tv and not being happy with the pair up. It’s a a silly comparison to compare a championship winning f1 car and one of the cars best ex drivers in f1 to go with it against guy Martin on a superbike ( if it was even a real full blown superbike at that)..No offence to guy Martin as he’s a legend on a bike but how about using a championship winning MotoGP bike from the same year as the f1 car and driver, say Casey stoner on a factory Honda or Ducati for instance..??
The car would still win of course as there is no way the bike can put the power down in the corners compared to the savage corner speed of the f1 car but a much better comparison with a same version in the bike world to the car..??
Just look at lap times from silverstone buddy. The F1 cars are still lapping motogp bikes in 3 laps.
Both guys did a hell of a job.
i love guy martin the guy is a living legend he is a diesel mechaninc/diesel fitter amazing guy
put them on isle of man watch the f1 go off the track or hit some wall
Horses for courses though isn't it....
+Ian Excalibur Guy's huge brass balls slow him down... im sorry but everyone is a pussy compared to superbike road racers.
+Francis def I agree...
+Francis def Why don't you put a road bike, with their normal racing tyres into the swedish rally championship round. That's pretty much the same comparison
*****
Lol. The rally cars are almost as sketchy as the bikes. Can't remember the dude's name, but the guy who runs an STi every year has had some massive moments on the TT course
F1 cars sound so shit now, makes me so sad :(
+Sean Mapley THat is the RB8 in the video. From 2012. Sounds epic.
+jockeleu those burnouts
Sean Mapley Have you sat and watched a Formula E race all the way through? All the excitement of watching paint dry.... 😑
jockeleu better than today's anyway.
During typing this the F1 revved and I dropped the phone on my face. Just Beautiful.
Able Tasman it’s depressing but that’s the future mate
1 RIDER with 1 Crew damn, Guy Martin is so diligent
David Coulthard still have his perks after so many years....
