Schmacher v's Fighter Jet!!!

Just seen this on sky sports news! Now that's just showing off surely!

 

There's a couple of photo's here and a short article about it. Nothing mentioned as to the reason behind it, just a Ferrari publicity stunt I guess...

I think I'm turning into a cynical git, because as soon as I read this I knew what the score would be...

..ten tonnes of aircraft versus about 2 grammes of F1 car over a distance of 6 inches - well, how surprised am I at the result.

I can out accelerate a Porsche 911 - but it would all be over in the first 3 feet.

Now if Schui was on foot against the jet and he won over a 600 mtr race, that would be impressive.

 

Schuey only just won over 600m and lost over 900 and 1200 metres. It was just a publicity stunt for Ferrari but similar car versus fighter jet things have been done before.
