For the FIRST time somone who can actually ride races supercars. Thank you. This was a good run. Very impressed with the rider. Anyone can do 190+ on a car, can't say the same for a bike especially with corners like the TT

[@funkfridays2283]

You haven't seen maxwrist,have you?

[@deejarvisful]

Going fast in a straight line on a bike isn't hard. Getting off the line in a tidy manner is tricky but all you need to do then is tuck in and hold on (and most fast bikes have traction now anyway) TT, of course but that's not a drag race. Racing in a car is also highly skilled.

[@Stratocasterhead51]

@Michael Pullins Sorry but that is false. Just because you use traction control does not mean you cant ride. I know owners of superdukes, s1000rr's, R1s, Zx10r's, and for the road they almost always at least have their bikes on a low tc setting. Besides, i believe Dee Jarvis was referring to launch control and not traction control.

[@Stratocasterhead51]

​@Michael Pullins " Even Rossi has said he doesn't like T/C and thinks it's cheating" ok boomer. So you think a multi world champion is an accurate representation of how an average rider should be judged skill-wise? At high level, on a racetrack, sure, T/C seperates the best from the others. But on the road, the use of T/C does not make you a bad rider.

[@Stratocasterhead51]

@Michael Pullins When i said average i meant random, IE not refering to his skill level. You can get very skilled riders who do not race. Either way, i didnt gloss over what you wrote, i am simply speaking in a context of road use and you are referring to track use. Electronics are aids, and as bikes become more powerful and capable, more people use them as a safety precaution. Doesnt mean they arent talented riders. I wont bother arguing anymore we are both fairly set in our philosophies. Btw, what is it that makes you think i am a millenial? Why is it so crucial, for your arguments' sake, that you point it out? Just FYI i am not a millenial, but does thinking i am make you feel superior? more mature? Smarter? more accomplished? Does generalising me as a Generation X validate your points further?

Why is Ferrari such a bad sport when it comes to lending cars for comparative tests....they even prevented Top Gear from having a head to head with the P1/918 when they had all 3 in the studio. McLaren and Porsche are just like 'lol go ahead', they're comfortable with their cars being compared to incredibly good rivals and they know people will still pay millions for them regardless of which one is a few milliseconds faster around a race track.

[@eljefe1295]

All about advertising. McLaren is still a baby company, Porsche finally entered the Hypercar business, Ferrari has been making supercars since the 80s. Why risk the LaFerrari losing? I don't like Ferrari's methods anymore than you, but I see why.

[@SpeedStrengthJames]

They managed to get a LaF for the new version of Too Gear ;3 but yea that's annoying because it's nice to compare the 3

Then again, the Regera technically isn't a Hybrid, even Koenigsegg admited this. "...the Regera is not what we at Koenigsegg would call a hybrid, as it does not have the traditional shortcomings of a hybrid." Also the Regera is more built for luxury than perfomance.

Sore looser. You just British engineering, so go back home. 👍

[@MigotRen]

that the 918 takes longer to get to 200 is because after 250Km/h (155mp/h) the front electric motor disengages from the wheels. it does so because unlike the rear electric motor it doesn't have a gearbox between it and the frontwheels so it would keep spinning fatster and fatster wich could damage or destroy it. And so after 250km/h the 918 is missing 125hp and thats why it takes longer to get to 200

[@billdexhart5179]

Very interesting. Thanks!

[@BTrain-jw3uk]

***** I think you missed the part where the announcer was going over the telemetry and said the bike continued to pull away from the cars until it hit its limiter at 192. The P1 caught up because the bike hit its limiter. It was also the fastest at the standing mile. I'm not aware of any track in the world with a mile of straight so I'm pretty sure this all adds up to the bike having the most usable speed. Oh and you can also get something reasonably close to the Superleggera for what you'd pay for tires on the 918 and P1...

[@martyndyson9501]

You also need to read or listen as the race was first to 200mph! The bikes gears topped out at 192mph hitting max revs which is when the P1 took over and hit 200 mph before the bike could wind up the other 8mph, so with a longer last year the bike could win but then your modifying it so you could also modify the P1 and then where do you stop? Obviously there are bikes and cars out there that can destroy these but you have to heavily modify them whereas all 3 of these are stock!

[@CanadienMike63]

Martyn Dyson It didn't top out. Motorbike manufacturers put a 6th gear RPM limiter on sports bikes to restrict how fast they can go. For instance my old Hayabusa can go over 200mph because I put a Power Commander on it, with fools the ECU in thinking it's still in 5th gear.. so the limiter doesn't kick in and it's free to go. And no.. I haven't gone that fast with it. No highways around here safe enough to try it and 155mph was scary enough for me.

Your analysis is nonsense _"...on the day the P1 is king..."_ - The P1 was third to 60, was second to 100 and 150 (behind the bike) and only got to 200 in first place because the bike didn't get there at all. There's no point in being the fastest to 200 against a machine that can't get to 200.

The fact the bike matched the two cars off the line while managing wheelie effect is immense, what a rider!. Even as a biker myself, it still astonishes me that both a P1 and 918 at full tilt are going backwards from the rear camera on the bike. And to only be caught by the P1 because it ran out of gearing is mind blowing, give it an extra gear and that Ducati would probably just keep going at the same pace. "On this day, the P1 was king". Pretty sure the Ducati can legitimately dispute that statement...

[@Malc180s]

Almost like they're running a business. They made the most powerful, lightest car, and sold them all before the P1 and 918. Why then entertain some internet dick waving? Unnecessary.

[@cagriffin101]

Malc180s Eh. I guess it's how you look at it. I think they built the fastest in a straight line, but its certainly not "better" than the P1 or 918. None of these cars are simple by any means, but the Ferrari is definitely the most simple of the 3. Less was required to meet the goals in making the car. On a track, the Ferrari will be the slowest unless theres a crazy long straight. And they sold/made less cars and sold them all on the "Ferrari" name alone, no one outside of Ferrari drove them until they shipped out. As for the "dick waving", I think its completely necessary. How do you get potential buyers, future customers, etc excited about your cars and brand? Now, currently over the past few years especially, we've been seeing this "bitchassness" from Ferrari with tuning cars before giving them to press, never letting people drive them outside Marenello, and even being asses with owners...I think its going to bite them in the ass, soon. Ferrari is household name because its has a storied history, but most people don't know their actual cars, its just "A Ferrari". When I hear people, even not car people, talk about other brands such as Mclaren, Porsche, Pagani, or Lamborghini people actually know what model it is because them see them in ads, on tv, on the internet. Just my two cents lol

So disappointed that before making this video, no one, not one person involved was smart enough to consider the top speed limiter on the bike and how to over come that obstacle temporarily for this test, hands down with rev extender and top speed eliminator, the bike would have continued to accelerate

[@deejarvisful]

Hmm, I doubt it. Bikes have pretty poor aerodynamics. Anything over that would require a lot more power. Bike totally won in terms of grins per buck, though.

[@tylios2]

I think the point is to compare both cars and bike as stock. Not with mods added

[@marknasia5293]

04m6gto sport bikes not only have rev limiters they are required to have a top speed limiter, rev limiters can be extended with ECU flashing/PCV mods, but top speed limiters have to be ECU flashed out as an option. Do some research “google top speed limiter” on sport bikes, modern bikes have top speed limiters that is directly connected speed sensors used for items like traction control, and ABS. You can also search in youtube and see mods where top speed limiters were removed. I myself have extended the rev limiter on all my bikes that have a PCV, I have not had the ECU flashed to remove the top speed as in my area, it is impossible to get near the top speed. If you take the time to search in youtube you can also find videos showing you people having the top speed limiter removed although for most, they will never come near that. This top speed limiter is required on all liter bikes to be street legal, not sure when they started doing this but if it has ABS and traction control, it has a top speed limiter if it is over 1000cc sport bike

[@marknasia5293]

HugoAlexelelelel then the cars should have top speed limiters added to stop them also at 186 mph or 300 kph to be a fair test or just limit the test to 0 - 186

[@marknasia5293]

04m6gto obviously you don’t understand that factory speedometers are up to 10% off/miscalibrated.. that explains the extra speed also once you count the calibration of how they determined the speed. You obviously don’t understand, in EU and the US you are not allowed to sell bikes over 1000cc without a top speed limiter, and i am not your bud.

LaFerrari weight figures have been creeping out. It is not much lighter then the P1 like all have been claiming. So the Mclaren does have a small chance due to a smaller package. I think LaFerrari is carrying more in CD vs the P1. The Ferrari is slightly stronger but all the numbers seem to even out. The Top Gear test had them even at 100 so all is inline here.
