What is faster around a track a Moto GP bike or a Formula 1 car?
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. Cars are quicker round bends due to a much higher percentage of tyre contact and downforce which adds up to much greater grip factor. Bikes accelerate faster as they have a better power to weight ratio.
MotoGP bikes tend to have higher top end speeds (200mph+) than their F1 counterparts as the F1 cars sacrifice raw speed for greater downforce through corners.
The two greatest factors determining corner speed are grip from tyres (mechanical) and downforce (aerodynamics). Bikes suffer from having curved tyres with relatively low contact area and no meaningful aerodynamic downforce, thus vastly increased lap times.
Incidentally, this places greater emphasis on rider skill.
The f1 car is faster every where corners straights overall track.F1.The f1 cars top speed is 229mph Antônio Pizzonia of BMW WilliamsF1. Motogp.The motogp bikes top speed is 217mph recorded by pedrosa of Honda repol. all this evidence has shown that the f1 car is faster than the motogp bike in all areas.
But also don't forget that if they race on a track with slight turns going back and forth (turns leading into turns) where the car must turn back and forth and the bike can rip a straight line through, the bike will be more than 25% faster.

Unit price is Total price of the product (P) divided by the number of individual products withint he container (n). For example, if a pack of 10 cookies costs $1.00, the unit price is: 100 cents/ 10 cookies= 10 cents.
What speed do formula one cars go?
Around 200 to 210 MPH depending on the downforce levels and engine, but the point of an F1 car is cornering, otherwise you may as well watch drag racing.
What is the ground clearance in a formula one car?
Formula One cars run at very low ground clearance levels. They are less than a few centimetres away from the actual race track and sometimes when drivers take turns in an aggressive fashion, the bottom plank even hits the ground at times. Since they are aerodynamically superior they can run at such low ground clearance levels.
