V4 Panigale v BMW M3 Nurburgring taxi.

Comprehensively thrashed the taxi.

He's fast, no doubt. But I wouldn't call it a comprehensive thrashing. He's behind the taxi for half of the lap and only manages to do him on the fast section at the back of the circuit.

Was thinking the same, that Beemer was proper rapid.

A place where circuit knowledge is definitely a huge advantage.

The m3 must be de-restricted. At one point the v4 is doing 177mph and he is not closing on the car and most M3 are limited to 155mph.

4 wheels, big brakes and driving the circuit a few hundred times are all in the driver's favour.

I'm taking nothing away from the V4 and the rider though. His commitment into corners is a joy to watch.

It's like watching a video game.

A car will always be faster than a bike on a circuit, and especially the 'ring.

Also, those taxi drivers don't go flat out because an 8 minute lap is still ridiculous fast for a passenger and pushing the car and tyres (obviously increased wear) to get a 7min 30secs lap is not worth it

It's pointless to compare the two. They're poles apart....which is kinda the whole idea.

Nurburghring is a scary place! That rider clesrly isn't afraid of giving it the beans
