Guy Martin vs. David Coulthard at Silverstone - BMW Superbike vs. Red Bull F1 Car

If you read our article earlier this week that compared the braking characteristics of a Formula 1 car to a MotoGP bike, you'll already know that the F1 car is much better on the brakes. In a recent episode of Speed With Guy Martin, Martin challenged Formula 1 star David Coulthard to a race at Silverstone, but there was a catch: Martin would only have to complete three laps on his Tyco BMW Superbike while Coulthard would have to complete four laps in his Red Bull Formula 1 car.

What makes the video interesting is that Martin has some candid thoughts on the Formula 1 car, while Coulthard gives some insight into the different challenges to driving a car quickly around the racetrack. On top of that, the commentary provides comparisons of speed, G forces and more as the car and bike circulate the track.

The clip shown here is just a part of the entire episode, which included a variety of other challenges - a drag race, a braking comparison, and a fun segment where Martin changes a wheel on the Formula 1 car while Coulthard changes the rear wheel on the BMW Superbike.
