Motogp bikes are 30 seconds a lap slower at cota.

Than an f1 car. Thats crazy.

They have 4 times the horsepower, 4 tires with huge contact patches, and massive amounts of downforce. Not surprising at all.

 

Watching an F1 car brake from a straight into a corner is quite an experience.

 

Watching one of those Redbull cars throwing sparks literally all the way through the esses was ridiculous, bouncing all the way through them.

 

Yeah last week they said they experienced almost 5 g’s during braking.

 

But who cares [emoji848]

Yep, MotoGP is much better to watch

 

Crazy that it is only a 30 second difference. I would expect closer to a minute.

Yeah... I get puckered just watching this.

 

you must have weak sphincter control if you can't hold it for 5 seconds in a grainy TheGram "video"

may i recommend something for you

 

Cota was designed first and foremost as a car track. It has no flow for a bike track so hence the lap time difference.

 

Indy cars are about 15 seconds a lap slower than F1 cars

 

My minivan was probably pretty close too.

 

+1 for surprised it's only 30 seconds.

 

Just like watching a top fuel drag car, wether you are a fan of F1 or not its a must see in person to really get a feel of how fast they are actually going. It is quite insane, here's to hoping the car changes for 2021 make for better racing because currently it sucks ass.

 

Yet the GP bikes have a 14 MPH top speed advantage over an F1 car....they accelerate faster.

 

Didn’t the Indy cars do like 12’s at barber?

 

I believe the record is a 9 iirc.

 

I love the video with the F1 Ferrari, 550 Ferrari, and the Fiat 500...MS reading the paper while the other cars are running their laps.
