I've never understood the car vs. fighter jet thing. That aircraft isn't designed for acceleration or top speed on the ground, so what is it proving if the car or bike are faster?
yeah, when they gotta have a powerful catapult to launch from an aircraft carrier -- sure, it does go mach whatever at top speed, but acceleration wise, not as fast.
My mom used to call them murder cycles, but I mean 2 to 300 miles an hour seems like it would feel pretty fucking cool, until you hit something that you didnât expect to and then youâre dead.
You know what, I hate Red Bull the drink, but dammit I love their brand.

"... Why?"
"Because it'd be awesome?"
I used to love this stuff. Now Iâm just turning salty and getting older. I think all this money would be well spent on people that are hungry or donât have access to clean water. But this video is still cool.
Put the fastest EV and it beats all, saw a YouTube video between the EV and the fastest bike ( bike was modified by the company and driven by a professional driver ) and still lost
I mean I don't know much, but this I went back and found the video if u're interested (https://youtu.be/EyDpQpcPpuc?si=etJI7xuxWr0jfTw6)
Edit: u can watch from min 7
That wasn't the fastest bike (or the fastest EV car either). A Lightning LS218 would be a better match up and add wheelie bars to make it more fair (it's WAY easier to drive a car fast, especially in a straight line, than a motorcycle - you don't have to worry about looping a car).
Also, the main straight at Big Willow (Willow Springs Raceway) is under 1/2 mile - and the USEABLE amount of track is much less than that because you have to worry about slowing down - if you miss Turn 1, you're going off-road and they used to have a pretty decent sized gulley in the middle of the track (infield) back in the day - I once saw someone miss Turn 1 and hit that probably doing close to 90mph - it wasn't pretty. Bottom line is that a track like that isn't the best choice for dragging...
Yes, it is real. I believe Red Bull use an RB8 (from 2012) for events like this. This has a V8, so not quite Senna Era V12/10, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than the current V6s. The do keep the livery up-to-date, so it looks a bit more like a current F1 car, but it isn't.
I'm not entirely sure they use the original engine BTW. Red Bull won't start producing their own engines until 2026, so they'd rely on their engine supplier, who used to be Renault. The relationship broke down quite dramatically, but who knows...maybe Red Bull bought a bunch of engines at the end of the season. Or they have modified the car to receive an engine they can still get their hands on...no clue.
Average math question: A Jet, a train and a horse drawn carriage take off at the same time. How old is the mayors hamster If the pilot's great granddaughter Lola gets a $60,420 refund on her 1500 ~~melons~~ red bull cans?

It's just for fun my man, just for fun :D
What exactly is fun about racing a motorcycle, a jet airplane, a race car or any of the other fast fun machines?
Re-read your last 3 words and you have your answer
i think he was trying to make a joke and all of reddit missed it and downvoted him
You could reread any of those words for my answer.
What
Say it outloud if you have to. *What exactly is fun about racing a jet airplane?*
What
Machine go vroom make men happy. Understood?
Too much words they head go boom
yeah, when they gotta have a powerful catapult to launch from an aircraft carrier -- sure, it does go mach whatever at top speed, but acceleration wise, not as fast.
Hook it to an aircraft catapult and I'm suddenly interested again.
Those superbikes though oh my gosh!!! Both off the line and top speed, just incredible.
But their climb rate sucks. And what sort of weapons load out can they carry?
From what I remember of Terminator 2 a big bore lever and a large bipedal autonomous drone at a minimum.
LOL đ
Yeah they're amazing, and even better is when they go from top speed to zero in like a foot.

A small pebble and youre pretty much dead

I can imagine what a cool job those guys planning all these stunts have and probably make a lot of money too.
I used to love this stuff. Now Iâm just turning salty and getting older. I think all this money would be well spent on people that are hungry or donât have access to clean water. But this video is still cool.
Is it just me or did the F1 car start a little early?
Looks like the black car to the left of the F1 jumped the gun a hair, then the F1 took that as a signal that it was GO time.
this is dumb. I can run faster than a jet for the first 3 seconds that is spools up.
Who will win ......Maverick!!!! Duhhh
That gray car was cooking off the line. Does anyone know what that is?
I think itâs a Tesla model s
Ahh makes sense
Seems the F 16 had to hold back by not throwing on the afterburner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m06uWM_tABM
A company decided to .....

Keep going âŚ
absolutely love the youtube shorts of red bull, their short format content is wild af!
Wouldâve been nice to see a dragster and a funny car in this line up.
I finished first ;)
Is this f1 car real? Does it use the same engine from Ayrton Senna's era or is it the new one?
Yes, it is real. I believe Red Bull use an RB8 (from 2012) for events like this. This has a V8, so not quite Senna Era V12/10, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than the current V6s.

I'm actually kind of shocked the Bike beat the F1 car
Look what we did
...As I try desperately to finish my cold drink before my paper straw turns to mush.
Huh. I thought f1 cars were faster than bikes as a rule because of more traction. No?
I wanna know what âgeniusâ thought it was ok to Race aircraftâs on land with cars and shit
Hayabusa?
