Formula One Cars are not only fast but they are furious too. Every year we witness these F1 cars in the worldwide Grand Prix Competitions as well as in Hollywood movies; their fierce and aggressive speed is an ultimate treat to watch. To catch the speed of an F1 car and that too at its native race track is something only another F1 would do. But what if a Super-Bike goes head to head with an F1 Car at the race track? It surely sounds exciting. Let’s see how it happened.
Race Parameters
The stage got set and the Supercar Biker “Guy Martin” and the F1 Car Driver “David Coulthard” took their positions at Silverstone track. Following were the race parameters for this enthralling competition:
- Length of the Lap: 3.661 Miles
- Condition of the Track: Dry
- Wind Speed: 13MPH (North West)
- Record for Lap: 1.33.4 (Mark Webber 2013)
For the F1 car to win, Coulthard had to complete four laps on his F1 car faster than Martin completing 3 laps on his super-bike.
The Red Bull RB8 F1 Car
The Red Bull RB8 was the F1 car competing in this race. It’s the 23rd Newey’s F1 car and fourth in the family of these Red Bull Super cars.
Let’s see the supreme specs of this wonderful F1 car:
- Engine: Renault Engine RS27-2012 Supported with Electric Motor
- Displacement: 2400cc
- Horsepower: 830bhp
- Transmission: 7-Speed Automatic
- Drive: Rear-Wheel

Tyco BMW Super-Bike in the Race
The rider Guy Martin took his Tyco BMW S 1000 PR Super-Bike in the head to head competition with the 2012 Red Bull RB8.
Let’s have a look at some eye-opening specs of the bike:
- Engine: Four-Cylinder
- Engine Type: Water Cooled-Inline
- Displacement: 999cc
- Throttle Valve: 48mm
- Horsepower: 199hp at 13500 rpm
- Transmission: 6-Speed
One factor that will always be favoring the F1 driver in this race is the down force support of the 4-wheel drive of the F1 car. The super biker Martin must be given due credit for his daring attitude to compete against an F1 car.
