  • they race on bio fuel for the A1 car and the plane used less gas than a test flight which has to be done anyway for a safety check etc...

  • race a B777 wen its flying at cruise speed

    (600mph)

  • F1 is pretty much whoever has the most money to have the best car..?

    i personaly like A1 because everyone has the exact same car and its all down to racing skill and nerves.

    F1 is still freakin sweet though! ;D

  • wow not exactly an even race but makes for interest and big crowds.....i wonder how fast the top speed of the car was when going down that runway?

  • Let's keep in mind that the 777 is pushing off of air in order to accelerate and the car is pushing against the ground so the car has a huge acceleration advantage. But jet engines have so much power that they make up for that huge disadvantage and then some. If the quarter million horsepower of that 777 were used to spin the wheels instead, it would accelerate so fast the pilot would black out.

  • @92GH yea and with the ge90-115b engines

  • @92GH it'll blow past any cars by then.:D

  • Wheres the tax payers money? The airport company owns its fire trucks and employs its own staff.

  • At 1:50, water cannon salute for an A1 car in an airport? Pffftt!...

  • Good use of taxpayer's money?

  • Why?

  • who gives a shit about all the technical crap bottom line is a car will never match a plane like this in flight simply because its a car. but atleast they tried something most of us ponder when we watch fast things like GP cars and commercial jets.

  • oops I mean on taxiway before plane take off.. Sorry my mistake..
