[@EricvZ1967]

Of course at that speed there's no downforce for the car.

[@lumntoob999]

Although grip does matter there's more to this specific test exactly how it was setup than just outright grip. The car being so much longer and wider was the biggest disadvantage it had here. I think most people are aware at this point that an F1 car has the most outright grip and overall speed by a large margin over a moto gp bike, or anything else on a racetrack for that matter.

[@EricvZ1967]

@@lumntoob999 That's the additional explanation.. :)

[@lumntoob999]

@@EricvZ1967 not sure what you mean by the additional explanation. A car like an F1 car with 4 huge slicks and the sheer amount of technical suspension just has much more mechanical grip then a bike which only has two tiny contact patches and minimal suspension. If you discount downforce altogether a car like this would still have more cornering grip then a bike. I'm not saying your incorrect in that downforce increases with speed. Downforce in addition to the mechanical grip is why an F1 car would be potentially tens of seconds quicker around a lap then a gp bike, depending on the circuit of course. This "test" was really just a fun thing between friends that guy put together to win at least on area against the F1 car, it's irrelevant when looking at the on track performance between them.

[@gregmtech]

its just not a question of downforce ; but a question of space; the car is 4m long; the bike 1M50. if the cones are at 6m apart ;the car has to struggle where as is you scaled the course for the bike to be like it is for the car then the results would be different ( and very interesting too ) They are having fun ; just have fun with them ; its awesome ;)

[@TrungLe-dv9nd]

The F1 is too torquey, the tires can’t really grip in at that speed. The back of the car was all over the place as you can see. The wheels are spinning way too much. There are many disadvantages that an F1 has over the motorbike

It would have been good to see them put the cones twice as far apart and do it again.

[@JifeLacket]

F1 cars rely on down-force for most of their traction. As speed increases so does their traction. Doing a very slow slalom test is totally outside of what a normal F1 car would do and definitely doesn't highlight it's abilities. It's also tough for the driver because of the steering input, they aren't meant to turn that tightly at slow speeds. That test was run at basically the slowest speed the F1 car can drive at. Even something like 100km/h would be better, however that is still very slow, maybe 200km/h with wider gaps between the cones of course :). Interesting video none the less!

Really, the distance between the cones for this should have been a function of the length of each vehicle.

[@adammcallister2260]

But the point of this was the track race at the end. The track doesn’t change sides for each vehicle

[@OveSvensson]

I’m pretty sure a bike doesn’t turn due to shifting weight from foot peg to foot peg. Ever heard about counter steering? Also, there is more than gyroscope effect to overcome when turning a bike...

[@JADDEPRODUCTION]

Thky, i'm so sick of people that still dont get how a bike steers...Its the counter input in the handle bars that turn the bike, especially at such a fast pace !!!

[@shanekleindienst2517]

Car jockeys know everything, you ask them...

[@anononomous]

It would be interesting (ymmv) to draw a graph of times changing the distance between the cones each time. I suspect the times would converge and there'd be a crossing point where they were both the same, then the other would start to gain an advantage.

[@rosemarie575]

Have to practice cones for your off road motorcycle test. You soon learn that it’s all just swinging the bike from side to side rather than any real manoeuvring of the handlebars.

[@jayverhage4601]

he did mention f1 car being 4 meters long and the bike 1,5 meters... but what you should also mention is the width of the vehicle up till the height of the cones! the bike only has to move 0,5 meters at most from side to side to do a slalom.

[@vast634]

the cones should be 2 meters offset to simulate passing actual large obstacles. The bike would not be that nimble then.

[@paoloh885]

this is because the grip of an F1 car is based on downforce which is nonexistent at those speeds. if you would have put em a lot further away and then did a slalom test, then the F1 car would win for sure since it corners fast at high speeds.
