Heidfeld races against an F1 car… on a bike

F1 Car vs Bike

BMW F1 driver Nick Heidfeld and two-time motorbike world champion Troy Corser swap their race machines in this video produced sometime late last month. If you think about it… was this a subtle hint by BMW to Heidfeld that he will soon have to look to other forms of racing instead of his current BMW F1 car? Probably not… that’s got too much conspiracy theory kind of madness in it. Ah well. Watch the video after the jump.

    AW! what a tease… just a an ad and not much action on the actual race or drive it self… this is like a PR managed event and trying to raise funds for their depleting coffers… they should show the whole actual race to make this worthwhile..

    pro racer can drive different types of racing vehicle. 'The doctor' can drive a F1 car. Nick heidfeld can ride a racing bike..while troy corser drive a F1 car. Shumi can compete in supermotard race..i guess the training syllabus covers all types of motor racing.

  • i think the underlying principle is the same, the line you have to take, throttle off/on in corners, straights etc.

    All high class motorsports racer has this speacial talents..just throw them on any racing machine, and they will do it easily. Once a racer, always a racer. 2 wheels or 4 wheels for them is just the same. Valentino Rossi drove F1 and rally car. Shumi rides the motogp ducati and compete in supermoto. Kimi Raikkonen compete in rally. Sebastian Loeb drove F1..I can go on…

    Long straight lines the F1 can dust the bike but short straight the bike can past the F1.The BMW got 2.4cc V8/10 800hp/920nm compared to the 998cc L4 235hp/150nm superbike.But for 0-100km its under 3 sec for the F1 while 2.3s for the bike.MotoGP bike got 250hp/170nm can do less than 2.2s for century sprint.

    BMW is not a a challenging car for F1 racing b'coz it didn't stand up the F1 podium yet as a champion to date.

    any superbike riders that are fast can drive F1 easily. Any fast riders on the road in fact can drives a car a lot faster & efficient than a driver who does not ride bikes for the speed. Cars are too easy..
