I love it when Fifth Gear does these… Last year it was a Duc v Lambo and now its the GSXR1000 v Westfield track day car…
For those that didn’t see it I’ve grabbed it and made it into a smaller QuickTime file… It’s 13Meg and 5 Minutes long…
Right clicky and Save As… Http://itmugs.com/lb/5th.mov
to save my bandwidth it’ll only be up for the day, so feel free to mirror it out somewhere 
I did see it, but I thought it was a fix…
I think they need a real rider as that gixxer wasn’t loud enough on that track.
I should beable to mirror once I have finished cleaning out my FTP account… its been backing up for over 24hours… ugh
Nice one Lee.
Don’t know about it being a fix , but you have to remember the Westy has 4 wheels and tons of grip out of the corners.
As for th FTP, we need to chat got more than a tetrabyte of stuff to share 
I just re-watched the clip, and I guess it is not the sort of course you would see in bike races.
I doubt the gixxer is using all its potential ( I mean, did you see it at any time doing 150+mph ) and might be worth an adjustment to make use of the power for that kinda course.
A terabyte, dam, thats double my storage. Catch me at the ace some time and I can explain the unique hosting account I have. I doubt I can get all your stuff on there, but I am sure I can serve some of it.
I saw this. It wasn’t a fix.
Did you have sound on that file, couldn’t hear anything
I think when they done the results though they ruled out the Westfield as they wanted cars you can use everyday not track biased things like that.
To me it seems that track suits better a 600 than a 1000! If it was in Almeria in spain where the main straight has 900m and there are loads of fast areas where you could take the gust out of a Gixxer 1000, the story would be different…
>> Did you have sound on that file, couldn’t hear anything
hi. Yeah there was sound, but you most probably need the new Quicktime MPG4 codec. Sorry didnt think about that 
No doubt they chose that track as they new the car would win, it’s bugging me where it is? It’s not Knockhill, I’m guessing somewhere in Wales or more likely Ireland.
Its Anglesey I think. Its near Wales.
It is a bit of an odd track to test fast bikes/cars.
Probably a lot cheaper to use than one of the “bigger” circuits. BBC skinflints!
Not BBC. Its channel 5!
Nice one Lee.
Yes it was Anglesey (see pics below) and Kev Smith from MCN didn’t look slow.
I don’t think it’s about a 6 being quicker. It’s the circuit being more suited to cars than bikes. Bit tight like Lydden (only 1.06mls).
I’d like to see the results at Snetterton or the GP circuit at Brands!
The Gixer beat the Ducati 999’s time last year (not by much but it beat it) which beat a Lambo! 
If Kevin had have been able to adjust the suspension he would have been able to go quicker. We all know the standard settings are crap. No rear sag as standard…
Also the standard tyres are nothing special, plus some revised gearing, plus a full system, plus…
OK. So some cars a pretty quick too. 
I make you right there Ian!
I’m probably right then Channel 5’s even worse!
Hi the links not working for me ??
Pete. It was only available for a short time.
I downloaded it but it’s not available now.
I could try and Email it to you but it’s 12Mb. Even zipped up it’s 11Mb.
Perhaps someone will put in on their site. Jay?
Yer, but not but yer, I’d still rather have the 999
