Taster here.

Seems a little unfair to compare a F1 car to what is basically a road bike (I think it's a British Superbikes standard bike) and the track looked wet too (treaded tyres) but should be fun anyway.

The BSB spec Beemer is about 220hp and 200 or 210 kgs, at a guess. No traction control, though.
So still a 1:1 HP to kg ratio. And guy Martin is always good to watch.

I just did some googling, the WSB 1000rr was down to 162kgs a couple years ago.

I wonder what the €:HP ratio is for both vehicles :biggrin:
Entertaing show, way better than any of the other bike vs car competitions I've seen.

hehe :biggrin:
