If an F1 car and MotoGP bike were to race on the same road course which would have the better lap times?

The F1 car.\n\nJeremy Clarkson proved it.

Road bike would be fun. I would get the hybrid though. Hard to ride a bike in the rain or snow.

At the moment it looks like a straight out fight between Fernando and Kimi. Honda, Ferrari and Williams look to be fast, but not fast enough to challenge for the drivers title, fast enough to be pests in the way though.

Definitely. No more oval stock car nonsense here, just pure motorsport; F1, the pinnacle of motor racing on Planet Earth. No more people to say that F1 cars can be driven by monkeys because of the TC system, no more people to call F1 boring...\n\nThe Americans don't understand traction control. It's not a method of creating traction, it's a method of maximising the traction that the driver has avaliable. And they don't seem to get that.\nToo bad there isn't a category for MotoGP. F1 is the best 4-wheeled motorsport, and MotoGP-the best two-wheeled one.\n\n\nbtw, I think the 248 in your nickname comes from the name of this year's Ferrari. Am I right?

There are a lot of differences, but generally speaking, Indy cars are bigger, faster and more durable whereas F1 cars are more agile and accelerate faster. An F1 car is slower on the straights but much quicker in the corners. The engine has less horsepower but the power comes on quicker and because a Formula One car is lighter and more responsive it reacts faster to the driver's input and the braking is much better.\n\nOther differences:\nTurbo charging\nThis is banned in F1 but still allowed in Indy.\n\nBrakes\nF1 cars use carbon fibre brakes which are lighter and more durable than the steel brakes used by Indy cars.\n\nWeight\nF1 cars minimum weight is 585 kg (1,287 lbs). Indy car minimum weight is 1,550 lbs (704.5 kg).\n\nGround effect\nIn F1, the downforce that a car generates is limited by requiring flat bottoms between the wheels (now with 50mm step). In Indycar shaped ground effect tunnels are allowed, but with strictly controlled dimensions and at a minimum height above the bottom of the chassis. \n\nTracks\nIndy uses primariy ovals with limited road and street courses - F1 uses only road-race style tracks, with the exception of the Monaco street circuit.\n\nNationality\nIndy is basically a domestic U.S. series as far as\nteams, venues and drivers are concerned. However, there are 3 venues outside of the U.S. (Surfer's Paradise, Brazil, Toronto and Vancouver) and an increasing number of foreign drivers. F1 is truly international in teams, engines, venues and drivers although there is a strong European influence, particularly British and Italian.

Probably after the first week of practice for the Indianapolis 500. The Panoz chassis was reasonably competitive during practice and qualifying for the season-opening race at Homestead (the team withdrew from the race because of the death of Paul Dana) and at the other two IRL races, St. Petersburg and Twin Ring Motegi.\nStill, I wouldn't be surprised if the team switches to the Dallara chassis, for at least one driver as the season progresses.

A large portion of the time choosing a road bike comes down simply to preference.  There are so many good bikes these day's, it truly comes down to the buyers opinion.  It all depends on the material frame you want, components, etc.  For me, I like stiff, small, I like aluminum, I use and prefer 38mm bars, and ultegra because it is cheap and easier to replace when I crash it.  I must say though, I have had a couple of Specialized frames and I absolutely love them!  I had the Allez about 3-4 yrs ago, and an S-Works E5 which I have had for a couple of yrs and was and still am completely satisfied.  I have also had a couple of Fujis, and I think they are just okay.

4 stroke would be better because you'd get higher revs, which would make the bike go faster.

I'd estimate a speed of about 60-70mph to go through the chicane, maybe 75mph on very low fuel and with the driver's foot welded to the floor. Like for a qualifying run.\n\n\nNo idea about the time it would take a F1 car around Canary Wharf, because I live almost 2000 miles away from London.

There is nothing like topspeed record holder but as I have observed F. Massi drove his Ferrari to a topspeed of 348.7kmph in Silverstone, British Grand Prix. I think the Renaults faster than Ferrari this year.

The McLaren F1 is faster with a top speed of 240mph. The Ferrari Enzo has a top speed of 217.5mph\n\nThe McLaren is also faster to both 60mph and 100mpg.
