Here are a couple of videos to watch to compare a car and a bike round the TT course. The car is a specially set up Subaru world rally car driven by Manx rally driver Mark Higgins. Mark is a top rally driver and 3 time British Rally Championship winner who also does stunt work on the James Bond films.

The bike lap is the 2016 Superbike TT record lap by Michael Dunlop BMW S 1000 RR.

The bike has a better power/weight ratio, acceleration and a higher top speed and can straight line the corners better. The car has more cornering grip. Both these guys know this 37 mile course and it's 200+ corners extremely well.


Mark Higgins Subaru lap 128.7mph average. Watch the speed readout at the bottom of the screen!

Michael Dunlop record lap 133.39 mph average

Enjoy and compare two top guys doing what very few can.

Cheers
Mike
