I was watching some Superbike today at Nurburgring and wondered which discipline is fastest there or on any track for that matter. Is F1 or LeMans or MotoGP or anything else the overall fastest whether it be car or bike?

I know they both go over 200mph but what has consistently fastest lap times?

I saw a video on YouTube of a fast car and a fast bike going head to head and it was amazing but very dangerous for the bike. I even wondered if it was just done using computer graphics and wasn't actually real.

Any thoughts?
 
This page has a list of lap times for production cars, race cars, and motorcycles at Nurburgring.

The official track record for a motorcycle is over a minute and a half slower than the record for a car.


That's true, but keep in mind, there hasn't been an "official" motorcycle run at the ring since '94, when they discontinued all cycle contests there. Bikes have come a huge way in the 14 years, enhanced in every aspect.

If a bike had the same time as a Porsche GT3 (2006 model), in 1994, then I'ld assume a gsxr1000, R1, etc could probably post some outstanding numbers underneath a driver of MotoGP calibur
