Default whats faster

am just wondering what would be faster a car or a motorbike say around the nurburgring.
now i know a bike is faster in a stright line but what happens with corners etc.
also i know bikes are cheaper but lets forget money for a min.
say you took a f1 car against a racing bike who do you think would win

F1 car would win everytime,you'll never make the straight line speed count on a bike as an f1 car is like glue round the corners.

The difference is around 30 seconds at Silverstone between an F1 car and Moto GP bike

I recall seeing some test on an oldish TopGear or 5th gear where they raced a Porsche against a half decent bike on track. The Porsche was plenty faster through the corners. I'd say car. If I remember correctly the Porsche was 4wd. Tiff Needell may have been driving.

Sorry. Too much wine. I didn't read properly. F1 car would do a GP bike.
