Guy on F1

[Kev L]

Funnily enough I just said exactly that to the Mrs whilst we are watching the show. Guy has a good personality for this type of show, but it would be good to see a full motto GP bike with carbon brakes and all the good stuff, to give a fairer reflection.

Was good tv and showed guy and dc as decent blokes, but dc is used to the finer things in life.... Like bathing

I don't think it would matter if there was a gp bike in the race the f1 car is still going to win hands down
I have seen the Webber / casey race and the bikes looks so slow when up against the car

I enjoyed the program. I was wondering how they would get around the 30 second lap time difference and they way they did it was good.

What would make a great follow up is to find a car that matches the bike. Then we can see the difference in power to weight and drag.

When it comes to racing I know which one I'd rather watch. Even a moped marathon is better entertainment than F1.

Too true... Even dc and his pit crew were amazed by the way a race bike reacts when it's ridden on the ragged edge, and how much the rider Weight has to move

Totally agree, its simple physics that the car will be faster in most situations... however just because it's faster doesnt make it more interesting to watch

You're right ,what makes any racing interesting regardless of whether its car /bike, snail is the fact that there is some form of competition
they all have to engage in a battle to win , the more the merrier ,that makes it exciting and worth a watch
As seen in F1 over the years a certain team has a better car and walks away with the championship they usually throw in a couple of little set backs just to try and keep an interest going
Its the same in bikes if it happens then the real racing is seen farther down the field where the bikes are more evenly matched
so as you have said it doesn't need to be faster just more evenly matched , but that's a hole new can of worms

I watched this and a very good and interesting watch it was. I think though maybe it should have been a formula 2 or 3 car as the F1 is the top race car but unfortunately GM's bike isn't.

I was a little surprised that the car did the 1/4 mile in 10secs, a busa out the box would match that. I also thought Guy took it a bit easy on the slalom test, but still good viewing

Enjoyable watch but pointless

Just a way to promote F1 on Ch 4. A good watch anyway.
