Suprisingly slow at the qtr mile though! 11 second run, down to 9 sec fastest??

Totally kicked arse all over the bike and boat, even with the boat flat out at the start line

Pity there are no real 1/4 mile times to check out

Boat part was a con with a rolling start anyway.

"IF" the bike had been better set up it "may" have been in with a chance.

I think bike and car were set up for the challenge The F1 is a faster machine. Look at the power to weight ratio of them both

Fookin love F1 cars, if you have ever seen em in person they are awsome! just look at it fly!

Was lucky enough to go to brands and get in the pit when the Euroboss cars were there (ex-formula one cars bought by the silly rich as playthings ) they are de-tuned!!! and tearing past at max's revs down the straight made you ears hurt.

Then there is the smell of the brakes as they come into the pits, the fact that they pump out so much from the zorsts your eyes sting in seconds when they are in the garage.

I love em. Just a shame the sport aint all that to watch anymore.

Nice doughnut there button

Tango turbulence

Was disappointed they didnt use one of those F1 power boats. they are fast as foook reckon that would of given them a run for their money.

Also, they should have got moto gp bike with someone who could actually keep the front wheel down

Reckon the F1 car could do 8's 1/4 miles if launch control worked properly
