I remember watching this a few years ago. Many have also probably see it as well. Still, it demonstrates why its non-sensical to compare Formula 1 cars against street legal cars.

McLaren's F1 vs. AMG E-Class vs. A-Class race one lap around Silverstone. It's a staggered start with the "A" leaving first, followed by the "E" fifteen seconds later, and the GP racer leaves 70 seconds after the A-Class.

Who'll come in first?

Same race on Yahoo (http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/view?&h=144&w=176&type=mpeg&rurl=www.williamyoungblood.com%2Fcvideo.htm&vurl=www.williamyoungblood.com%2FVideo%2FTop%2520G ear%2520-%2520West%2520Mclaren%2520vs%2520Mercedes%2520Road %2520Cars.mpeg&back=ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dsfp%26p%3Df1%2Bvs%2Broad%2Bcars&turl=scd.mm-so.yimg.com%2Fimage%2F1749309052&name=Top%20Gear%20-%20West%20Mcl...%20<b>Cars</b>.mpeg&no=1&tt=1&p=f1+vs+road+cars&size=6.9MB&dur=251)

Didn't TopGear did something similar a few years back with a Cosworth F1 and Johnny Herbert and Colin McRea in a Focus WRC and JC in a Ford Cougar?

Agreed, the CLK DTM AMG to bring up real competition.

very old but lots of funny humor

the GP driver didnt even have 1/2 his gear on when the A class left and was still reading when the Eclass left
