havin a conflab with me mate , who reckons the stig would beat the rossi around brands, stig in a mini cooper s, and rossi on an r1 road bike

MAD EVO 4

rossi without a shadow of doubt

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

no chance, Rossi would p**s it

mk2rstaff

but what about the bike around the bends that cant keep up with the car

MAD EVO 4

Hey this is ROSSI were talking about here, i doesn't matter if ur only doing the indy or the full he would still piss over the stig

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

Shouldn't be a problem really as the car will never get close.

Daviet

ive got a video of a 911 carrera against a r1 round thruxton and the car just wins.sure its tiff neddel against hislop

mk2rstaff

yu ever tried to race a bike against a car on a hard circuit b9kos

MAD EVO 4

yes it is mate

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

Rossi only 1.5 secs slower round Ferrari's test track than Schumacher, so he could beat the Stig in a Mini

mk2rstaff

yeh seen that one dave , thats what me and me mate talkin about

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

Since when was Silverstone a hard circuit ? I agree round Cadwell it would be different.

mk2rstaff

so goes to say that even round a fast circuit a bike wont beat a car

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

fast car yes, mini cooper s no.

mk2rstaff

around brands mini circuit i think ??????

Red16

if youre using that video as a comparison, youre in effect comparing the 911 to the Cooper S which is a slight miss match.

they done a similar test on top gear i think it was recently, murcielago/gallardo vs ducatti and that was a draw if i remember correctly.

im not sure of the layout at Brands but i would still go with the R1.

MAD EVO 4

it makes sense to go for the bike

Rossi should romp it against the mini........

The Clio cup cars are doing 52.88 and i reckon they are fairly well matched with the mini,While the Superstock R1`s are doing 47.7(std motor with slightly uprated suspension)

Wouldnt fare so well against something proper quick though.....911`s are doing 47.7 too......

mk2rstaff

how can you go with the bike when most tests have proved that the car with better traction around a small circuit has won!!

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

5th Gear did a Gallardo vs 999 around Anglesy and the 999 won by about 6 inches

would be interesting though around Brands. Maybe get Top Gear to do it using Shakey instead of Rossi around Brands vs The Stig. One of the car programmes did BTCC Honda Civic vs Supersport CBR600RR round Donnington ( i think it was National circuit) and that was close. The car won i think.

Daviet

agress that the porsche is better than a mini but was just as an example realy.
bikers just dont like to admit that they get beat of cars lol
dont see many bikes passing cars on the nurburgring vids.i know more suited to cars but i bet a mini woud beat t round there

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

and 999s are slow compared to R1, Gixer1000 or the Blade.

mk2rstaff

cars are better than bikes

MAD EVO 4

They both have their advantages on a track, one is quicker than the other in parts

PT

is their a vid of rossi doing the laps in ferrari

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

Yeah i agree. Warmer, safer and some where to put the shopping.

But if thats what you want sell your Cossie and buy a people carrier

mk2rstaff

i can have a fag and an hot dog at 160s
a biker cant

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

A 'fag' at 160. Lucky you.

The DIVA

iTrader: (3)

They both have there upsides and downsides,I have been lucky enough to ride and drive most of the European circuits and believe me for fun value wrestling a 190Bhp GSXR1000 round Jerez whoops the car experience everytime.....

mk2rstaff

but i will still beat you round the bends ???

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

Who did you do that with ?

The DIVA

iTrader: (3)

Only if your good enough....
