In 2004, Mr V Rossi lapped the Sepang circuit in qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix in the very quick time of 2:01 (dry), that's 2 mins and 1 sec. In the same year a Mr M Schumacher lapped the same circuit in the death defying time of 1 minute and 33seconds. This is a full 75% of the time a motorcycle takes. Or put another way; a F1 car can do 4 laps in the time a MotoGP cycles can do only 3.
So, that ends that.
Gav.
P.S. Cars are also fast at top speeds, ref Thrust SSC
Cars are faster accelerators, ref drag racing.
Cars are faster round circuits, ref F1 v MotoGP times.
