Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
No prizes for guessing which car wins this race, but still it’s a fun watch. Tiff Needel drives the F1 car while Vicki drives the BMW M5. It’s amazing to see how easily the F1 car overtakes the BMW M5 when they are going side by side, plus watch out for them to announce the big difference in average speed around the track!

if only u could buy F1 cars like normal cars.. >.
wer is the part wer the f1 zooms by the m5 so fast that the inside camera in the m5 gets knocked off ???
i saw this last mnth on discovery real time….
F1 car…born and bred for the track. amazing!!! i wonder how the steering feels.
i think Pagani Zonda can compete the F1 cars…no matter how F1 cars even Spyker as a team ‘paling koman’ really really amazing with 2.5liter v8 with turbo…American F3000 cars with turbo also cannot beat them
hahaha where is the m5 …. the F1 damn fast ~ ….
yo lady, nice driving there!
Hehehe, look at the driver lah, if the lady drives F1 n the guy drives M5, belum tentu F1 boleh menang…………
This is probably the BEST F1 to road car video ever..!!!
They actually let the Fifth Gear driver loose in an F1 car…fantastic..
Better than all those Mclaren F1 vs SLR vs what ever…
This one, you can actually get feedback from a normal guy…
Nice going …
that lady is vicky butler. if she were driving the F1 car, she would blow tiff away as well. she is not only the co-host of bbc’s 5th gear, but also an ex- race driver.
as for tiff, he is no normal fella as well, with lots of driving and racing experience.
They used to say that 5th gear have the fastest drivers on any motoring Tv show on the planet, and i totally agree.
To add to what BanyakMasukWorkshop said; Tiff also had a brief career in F1.
I like how some folks here like to talk out of their arse, when they haven’t much of a clue. The level of commenting is amusing to say the least.
How about the stig?
the stiq is a whole total topic on its own man. tiff has even been rumoured to have been the stiq before.. but so have many other drivers..
yea watched it in Fifth Gear on Real Time last time..
sapu
this was from fifth gear. Really no brainer, that F1 car can maintain high speed during corners. Put a veyron there and see which is faster.
bugatti veyron?
still F1 is faster than bugatti veryon in a circuit.
bugatti veyron… full fuel tank only last 15 minutes but that’s ok, because the tyres gone out in 12 minutes if go full speed. (seen from top gear video).
I would wanna see an F1 car racing a Leman.
hmm.. bugatti beyron ? its designed as a road car.. not a track car.. come to racing on track.. F1 stills win .. no doubt that bugatti top speed broke the F1′s.. but F1 is designed to race on track.. its brakes r ment to take up the heat an force.. its wieght. …its aerodynamic and stuff.. cannot compare a road car to a F1 car.. still a great experience to be able to get in on of the F1 cars..=)
cannot compare track car and road car.
