That was a top gear episode. The plane took oof went 1 mile up and down while the car did a UI at the end of the runway and came back. The plane won.

Marc, I think you may be thinking of the Top Gear 'race' between the Bugatti Veyron and the Euro Fighter Typhoon.
A quick google reveals this as the source of that pic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNY_4yeXSUk

Nice panning in the shot to blur the background but keep the plane and car sharp!

I was at Williamtown back in early 80's....we had a Lambo take on a Mirage III0 over 400 metres.

Mirage won...well they did use a dual aircraft (lighter) with one pilot and min fuel load.

Lambo took of nicely but III0 reeled it in real quick from ~300m mark.

edit:
Well I'll be blowed...a video of the event on youtube, here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71b5d72cp7w).

Scary how little Willytown seemed to have changed, I was there in the lat 90's. Even saw the old SURAD RADAR I used to work on in the clip. They only decommissioned that in 2000!
