the speed comparison is a classic....F1 car, V8 supercar, some BMW road car....
the F1 car lapped 1:40ish on a flying lap ( some 19 year old driving a BMW Sauber test car I believe ) so, slow by F1 standards....then the V8 supercar lapped a 2:10 ish i think, and the BMW a 2:40 maybe.... then they put em on the track together with handicaps, and the F1 car punishes them over the 5km lap to cross the line first
