Default Top Gear: Supercar vs Motorcycle vs F1 Car

With help from Marc Webber, Jamie Whincup and Casey Stoner, its time to find out who will win in the battle between motorbike, supercar and Formula 1 car.

Just goes to show the strengths and weaknesses of each. Pick your poison and have at it!

(btw was that ending staged? those were all damn close)

Yes, the ending wasn't all out.. especially the F1. I bet they just wanted to line up going across the line together.

I mean the F1 Red Bull lapped these guys in a few laps.

Also, i think all 3 were sandbagging at various points throughout. More an exhibition than any real racing going on.

That's what I thought, but still fun to watch

it was never going to be even close... f1 cars are insanely fast. but that was a VERY dangerous staged race to pull off with 3 such different performance characteristics.

it was definitely staged, but must've been a sight for the driver in the touring car to have an F1 machine zips by.
