Depends on the year of F1 car. Against an old 1.5 litre bmw turbo, the bike would get royally fucked up the arse in the quarter mile. against the new V8 cars, last year's bikes would win
but this years bikes are 200cc down, and would get genuinely screwed by a V8 F1 car.

Are you guys shitting me?! An F1 car gettin beat by a bog standard factory bike? Christ....i'm sure it runs the quater in a lot less than 9. Drag prepped harleys will run early 7s cuz of the torque, an F1 car MUST be faster!

come on lets be serious, rossi likely to win around a track, F1 on a drag race due to traction control and the sheer brunt of the engine and rossi is likely to win on a rally course, overall rossi wins by a substantial amount!


It's meant to be they'll race each other on bikes, then in F1 cars and then in rally cars. Dont think it's about F1 cars vs the GP bikes.

Think F1 cars run the quarter mile in 8-8.5 seconds?

That's 'drag prepped'. I bet they don't go around corners very well.
Torque, as with power, is nothing without control.

Drag prepare an F1 car and it'll probably be quite fast as well.

But the simple fact is, they wouldn't run a drag race with an F1 car against a MotoGP bike.

They'd take it in turns to test them around a track.

Talk of drag races and quarter mile times means sod all and isn't on topic.

Besides, which part of my original post about this never, ever happening didn't people believe? Rolling Eyes

Does it matter that it would never happen? If people only discussed things that would definetley happen, the internet would consist of 4 webpages.

All my posts were about the seemingly sweeping assumption that an F1 car is uber l33t in a straight line and would muller a moto gp bike over the quarter mile, when this simply isn't true.

But Fifth Gear drag raced a BSB Superbike and F1 Car and Speedboat (it wimped out of trying on tarmac) on the same stretch of dragstrip.

Maybe we are verging off topic here, but then again, there wasn't any definate question which I saw to your original post, just a quote from a press cutting. Confused

Massive difference to a MotoGP bike.

As mentioned above, irrelevant to the initial topic as they would be on the same vehicles, but I doubt there is much difference as far as straight line speed goes for a quarter mile.

We're talking say 200hp vs 240hp or so (not sure what's happening with the 800cc engines now?)
Either way, I wouldn't be suprised if both ones could accelerate at their maximum speed (ie can wheely) at any point up to the quarter mile mark. The GP bike may even be shorter, meaning it can't make as much use of it's power at slower speeds.

No, Fifth Gear didn't, Honda, did.

So, whichever won, it was a Honda.

See?

I'm sorry, but an F1 wouldn't win a drag race. A standard cbr-1000 is only 1 second slower than an f1 in the quarter mile, i'd imagine a moto gp bike (or even a world superbike) would take it down.

Dream on cunt what fucking world do you live in???

Not far wrong, if lilredmachine's 9 second quote is accurate. Latest litre sportsbikes can run a standing quarter in the early 10s.

Where's this conversation going?
