Depends on the circuit. Lotsa very verytight turns, no straights, could be close.

I guess what I am saying is, given a cars larger rubber footprint, many tight turns and or the ability to bootleg a few hairpins plus no room to accelerate for the bike means that a car can have a chance. All things considered, a car handles better than a bike, and can usually stop more consistantly short. When a bikestoppies and also during the transition before/during countersteering itis slow. A car, under the right circumstances will be faster, and an all out race car will walk away from any two wheeler any day of the week on virtually any real racetrack.


My point was, don't let the car driver pick the route.

I agree with fish, well on twitchy turns anyway a bike can't really hold as much speed in it, or the average rider cannot anyway. But I think if they're long sweepers, or not so much twitchy turns, the bike can still walk away from that prelude lol. I mean if you're gonna let him pick the setting, he might as well pick a snowy day if he wants to win.
