Fifth Gear Jason Crump v Tiff Needel, Speedway Bike Vs the Car

A clip from the channel 5 program Fifth Gear showing Jason Crump on his speedway bike Vs Tiff Needel in various cars at Belle Vue Speedway track.

[@Keelysophie]

Totally awesome!! it was bound to be the bike that won. Speedway ROCKS!!!!!

[@Holden308]

Dating myself here but I grew up watching the original Crumpy, Jason's dad Phil here in Australia back in the late 70's and through the 80's.

[@geoffcrumblin9850]

Me too, even earlier

[@Skittledikk]

Been watching the Diamonds for years its amazing!

[@Wooderz245]

Hell Yeah! BELLE VUE Go Aces! Jason Crump kicks ass!

[@irritatedmushroom2]

I used to do a bit of speedway when I was younger. Never had a go on one of the big 500cc bikes but had lots of fun on a 250 at Eastbourne. Still very quick though, most fun I've ever had on 2 wheels and what a noise!!!

[@zaistewykurwiste2]

Gotta love speedway !

[@PiousMoltar]

lol Crumpie wasn't even trying

[@edmunek]

Jason even didn't get tired

[@adamczik]

Man You don't even know that exist something like long track speedway, where track are even 1000 m long.

[@Raluph1]

kings lynn give speedway bike days. i did one, its awsome

[@TombstoneHeart]

I can remember old time Aussie speedway rider, Chum Taylor, giving his assessment of the people who go racing speedway on or in anything other than a motorcycle. He said, "If you're really brave, you go racing on two wheels. If you're not so brave. you do it on three wheels and if you've got no guts at all, you do it on four wheels." Chum wasn't one to mince his words - he just told it as it is!

[@chrisadams154]

if you havent been to a speedway meeting, your missing the action, from quality to the smell of methanol fuel as they go past

[@touristattractionalfie9376]

And the little pebbles HITTING your face hard as they FLY past!

[@sp3edway]

love the speedway bike and also 515 brisca f1 stock car love both sports and if you never been before your missing the action that goes on and i wish i could give both ago

[@kabatrock]

Surprise? Not for me :) Speedway, speedway, uber alles :) Jason is cool :) Best wishes from Poland.

[@RezaFFA]

Should've got Wainman in his car :D

[@edenwoodward6829]

KyiFFA that would of been cool

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Wow - that car looks like fun (maybe on some more rugged off road?) but I think I'd still prefer to give the speedway bike a go!

[@bensingleton3923]

I know Tiff is a good driver but I feel if it was Frankie Wainman driving the F1 it could have been closer.

[@JohnWalker-ho4gl]

HD has come on a lot since that was filmed.

[@JasonTheCrump]

no dought that crumpy is the best speedway rider( hence my youtube name) btw, COVENTRY BEE'S FOR LIFE!

[@kaylsbro]

people always put speedway down but it one of the fasted and deadlest sports and the riders aren't getting as much as football players

[@anndarling9102]

I used to go speedway here and America what skill they ride I would the cold evenings when you would smell that engine fuild there nothing like 🏍️

[@Raluph1]

im with you on that! panthers own all

[@Cancinex]

A 500cc bike does out accelerate a formula one car with ease.. The speedway bike will go from 0 120 km/h in under 2 seconds, on dirt

[@masonhare9419]

Therefore accelerating faster then an F1 car

[@stephenallmond67]

Should of done this at Foxhall Stadium at Ipswich have a speedway rider on the shale and have someone going round on the fast tarmac that goes around it

[@PiousMoltar]

HAHAHAHA IPSWICH YOUR TRACK IS A JOKE - sincerely, a King's Lynn fan

[@BenSmith-od8fc]

[@gladhand1001]

should have done it on a fast track like lynn or sheffield

[@masonhare9419]

Yeah at lynn where they also do F1 stock cars and it would have been even as it isn't crumps home track

[@TheCotton86]

Speedway so much better then cars

[@PiousMoltar]

Yeah I don't understand why stock cars are basically keeping many speedway tracks alive because of the money they bring in. Why do they make more money then speedway? I guess it's more popular, but why? Makes no sense to me.

[@Raluph1]

exeter good track from 1900s. shame its now closed, but safety was an issue

[@PiousMoltar]

Went there once as a kid, when we went on holiday to Devon. I think it was 1996, the one year that King's Lynn (our team) didn't run and the two top leagues were merged into one. My favourite rider Mark Loram was riding for Exeter that year so that was an added bonus, I believe the opposing side was Edinburgh. It was an awesome track, shame it closed.

[@nickytanner]

Come on CRUMPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThunderboltDragon]

@xfan1905 Lack of space probably but there are a few longer tracks, like Peterborough and Isle of Wight.

[@PiousMoltar]

And King's Lynn, and the time you posted that, Swindon. Actually the new Swindon track will still be bigger I think. As is the new Belle Vue track which is the longest in the top British league now. Berwick is the longest in the country I think, I've been there, didn't notice at the time that it was particularly long but apparently it is.

[@PiousMoltar]

Oh and as a kid I once played a bit of football on the centre green with some other kids at the Isle of Wight. We were on holiday there, and there wasn't a meeting on that week, but they were showing the Grand Prix in the bar, so we went along.

[@Saxymancan]

Jeeks Aussie has some hot riders right now, Crump, Holder, Ward and Watt, is it any wonder Pool won! As for the show above I'd like to think Tiff would have a little more respect for speedway now, but somehow I doubt it.

[@Skittledikk]

Speedway bikes out accelerate a F1 car so i doubt they can be beaten by anything with 4 wheels

[@FLAPARON]

Incorrect, Have a look at what a midget(as raced in USA, austral, and New Zealand ) will do. 1 to 2 seconds quicker per lap on a 1/4 mile.

[@daveyboy174]

but that track is 255 mtrs very short, would have been more interesting at the old Cov, leicester or old Belle View.

[@Raluph1]

its not, speedway tracks brick underneath shail. no granite

[@Skittledikk]

This is on dirt. And the bike only just reaches 70 .. so it does out accelerate it for a tiny bit.

[@PiousMoltar]

They can reach about 80

[@PiousMoltar]

Maybe not on this track though, it was pretty small. Thank god they got a new one.

[@DannyFuckingG]

Like they say two wheels are better then 4 xD

[@sofii169]

Shouldaa got Gollob! Thrash him even more! Or Freddie around Wolverhampton!

[@sofii169]

@ReFlex992 Okay then Bydgoszcz!

[@DavidjohnsonDavid]

Look up josh grajzconek cause he's becoming a gun solo rider and he lives down the road from me.

[@xfan1905]

on speedway track nothink would beat speedway bike why tracks in england are so short???

[@SINCARAROCKS619]

It's all about woffy now!

[@PiousMoltar]

5 years later and I'm hoping that's still true. Come on Woffy. Crump was a legend though, love that guy.

[@PiousMoltar]

And he won another world title! Awesome

[@BenSmith-od8fc]

Woffy would never of been world champion in the original gp days Rickardsson Gollob Crump Nielsen Pederson would of wiped the floor with him

[@FLAPARON]

Midgets, as raced in the USA, Australia & NZ , are purpose built for racing on dirt ovals. 1/4 mile ovals can be knocked off in 13 seconds. They are purpose built just as the bikes are with fixed gearing.(Only changeable in the pits), run methanol, just as the bikes do, run fuel injected 2.6 litre specially built for purpose engines just as the bikes are. (Esslinger) The do have brakes, but just as the bikes, they need a push start. Have a look at ....... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp-xp6CaiM-cr68

[@jronson22]

No they don't... I grew up around speedway bikes, and I know a sprintcar would eat them alive. A sprintcar would be much too powerful for a little UK track though.

[@kwiatekzgniezna]

eeee.... wheres the rest ? o yeah, and gollob is the best

[@122douglas122]

i saw jason today ridinga dirttrack biek rofl itwas funny

[@ChrisDHughes]

Go on Jason, 1 up for belle vue

[@C2AW]

@joeroeth That's true

[@DavidjohnsonDavid]

Josh grajczonek I meant

[@andrewstyles-ward8331]

Do it on tarmac and give it frankie see what happens that full contact with the bike lol

[@BridgetTheBusDriver]

go crumpy!

[@andrewrunagall]

Shame Crumpie won't be around much next season, but it's also a shame that this was put on the show that ends with "Gear" that no one watches.

[@jcadlols]

a sprint car is more likely to beat him than the rally car.

[@lewisfoxley8480]

Edinburgh Monarchs all the way

[@sam_p792]

omfg thats not a car its a bike with 2 extra wheels!

[@LMB222]

@joeroeth indeed!

[@seanadamson280]

Love speedway but tiff talking blathering crap is so ridiculous

[@Cancinex]

it's a fact dude.. i race it myself.. lol got it tested you know..

[@Cancinex]

Looks is not the same as facts, try make a start on one, and come back here.

[@sheldongill69]

Wolverhampton Wolves all the way ;)

[@thedarknessofknight6440]

Bet you hate Eastbourne now as the track got the better of Tai

[@PiousMoltar]

Everyone always hated Eastbourne. I hate to see top clubs die but... good riddance. What a stupid track.

[@Denis9999f]

мотоцыкл всегда будет быстрее машины! и это факт!

[@scragly72]

WTF is the go with the wing. Also go on a larde track against a sprintcar. Crumpy would be flogged

[@Firemarioflower]

bloody hell what a failure tiff. man this is unbelieveble. cars still rule though

[@ghampster21]

A speed bike always wins in the end

[@stugill4513]

typical tiffany think hes the fastest thing on the planet

[@davidhutchinson6954]

haha actually he is a hell of a driver, not many could jump into any race car and bang it out like he does. OK the proper drivers of each formula would be quicker but he is pretty damn good

[@PiousMoltar]

"perfect for racing bikes like this" lolno the old Belle Vue track was utter garbage.

[@ReFlex992]

@sofii169 gollob wouldn't, hes utter garbage around belle vue

[@PiousMoltar]

Probably because it was a garbage track The new track is great though. Probably the best in the country. Clearly influenced by Polish tracks, but that's a good thing.
