no real shocker there. but kinda cool to see the competition between the two so close.

Yeah, I noticed the same kind of thing when I went to Harris Hill in my car last weekend. It's a lot easier to brake late and brake hard in a car than it is in a bike.. a lot more room for error, as it were, because you have 4 contact patches and you can't, well, fall over. Sure, a 1098 would spank a car in the straight because of sheer power-to-weight ratio, but an experienced driver behind the wheel of a car would own the bike in the corners.

In this widely distributed track vid, a 999 takes closely, a Lamborghini Gallardo.

It really doesn't matter how many times they try that, the car is almost always going to win.

I've driven a friend's GT-R, and it was really, really badass! I'm sure I'd go faster just about everywhere in one than I would on a sportbike.

I would've delayed the segment until the track was completely dry. There was definitely some wet/slick parts on it that would have me leary of going 100%. But that rider knew what the fuck was up. I just think the car got an edge because of the damp track. You can't brake as hard, and you can't accelerate as hard under those conditions. I know I wouldn't, but I'm also not nearly as fast and experienced as that rider.

During the heat of TX summer, it sure is nice to be able to wear shorts and have AC blasting on you vs. being in hot stinky leathers.
