Bsb is a few seconds quicker on average over a lap than btcc. But btcc cars aren’t exactly quick by any standards in car terms. Not even for tin tops really. They have a lot of grip though. Pretty wank in a straight line. Not that that matters for racing. Speed and power doesn’t necessarily make racing.

Once you get in to slicks and wings, forget it.

Having sat on both sides of the fence though, it is a fairly substantially different kettle of fish riding a bike fast to driving a car fast.
It’s caused many a family argument as my family are car racers. But riding a bike quick is a different ball game. Especially if we are talking properly QUICK. Not that I can ever really say I was at that level on a bike. But at the level I was even, it was graft and the price you pay for getting it wrong is also in a different post code.

Cars, especially modern cars are a piece of piss to drive fairly quickly. Go to any U.K. car trackday and there will be all sorts of road cars going round, some maybe a second or so off a racer in a road car if that.

you simply do not get that on bike trackdays.
