Car vs. Bike drag races are great, right? I mean, they have to be because the bike always wins. Well, they do until the car guys start cheating.

This is the most pointless drag race Ever!

So, we all love a car vs. bike drag race because, no matter what car the hopeful rich guy brings or how much it cost, it will always get creamed by the superbike costing a zillion times less, right?

It might be crass ego boosting for us motorcyclists but it works!

So, when some clever dick gets the idea of bringing a Formula 1 car to the contest, then we call that plain old cheating. I mean, let's face it: the road car will get beaten by the bike and the bike will get beaten by the F1 car. Where's the fun in that?

Sour grapes? Me? Surely not! And it's not as if they've got a muppet riding the bike: it's Peter Hickman who holds the record for the fastest lap of the Isle Of Man TT course - 135mph, for goodness' sake! Not many corners on a drag strip, however, so that might have something to do with it!
