Obviously a ' race ' was set up between these 2.

Gentleman ... please place your bet's ..!!

[Varangian (John)]

Whoa! Is that the first travel at the speed of light car, cause if it is that Tornado does not stand a chance!

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.

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.

Wow! thanks Brendan, that was VERY cool :-D

Yes it's the Reventon Humayun.

[Octane (Humayun)]

Thought so. Do want.

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!
