I'd love to have Nissan GT-R

[MattHirst]

That GT-R is totally sexual, they even use nitrogen in the tyres because normal air is to unpredictable aparently

But i'd much rather have the duke

Did look quite damp in places too. I think the bike may had been closer in more dry conditions especially at a place like Cadwell with all the over hanging trees.

That gt-r is a nice bit of kit.

That is the first decent bike & car review I've seen.

At least they took the damp track into context, Fifth Gear wouldn't even bring that fact up and boast on the cars faster times

[Whosthedaddy]

[MinhDinh]

good video. i found it funny, not too informative but also fair. both are so damn cool and it shows how good that car is. i don't know if the driver is a good car driver, but he was abit fat. the biker was awesome to my untrained eyes too

1.44 round Cadwell in those conditions is pretty damn good

That's the thing with Top Gear that gets to me. Sometimes you don't actually know if Jeremy is mucking about or if he's telling the truth.
I don't see any reason for nitrogen being used. Last time I checked air wasn't a particularly unreliable gas. You don't see it exploding a lot

He was surprised that an R500 beat a Hypermotard.

And from that point on his opinion was void.

Ever looked in your bikes handbook molotov? It generally states that you must check your tyre's pressure when the tyres are cold

Nitrogen doesn't get affected by temperature (or no where near as much) so the pressure is constant and doesn't change. Thus more predictable handling and you know from as soon as your tyres are warm then the handling will stay that way. Not fluctuate depending on your tyres air temperature.

As Big_Ham said, there are to many variables.

A lot of people think that the warmer the tyres are, the more grip they provide. Well that isn't nessecarily true, tyres have an optimum working temperature. If they get too hot then they will wear quicker but they will also 'fold' and give way when cornering, thus not providing as much grip.

Its the same way as people think that on a really really hot summers day that the roads will be really grippy. Which maybe true but be careful when giving it the beans on tarmac, as it gets very hot, starts to melt and gets soft and can give way (i had a lowside because of this on a roundabout).

Notice the Noob mistake at the beginning? He called it a Skyline, Nissan never have and have always stated the GT-R is not a Skyline.

Didn't expect the bike to win on a twisty circuit . . . and it didn't.

No brainer to be honest, the car was always going to win, even in the dry.
