Which is faster? An Ariel Atom V8 track day toy, BMW HP4 superbike or a rallycross Citroen DS3 with 600bhp? Here we have three completely different ways of going extremely quickly in a straight line. Time for a drag race then. So what are the contenders? There's the one-wheel drive BMW HP4 superbike, which arguably requires the most skill to extract speed from but has a ludicrous 757bhp/tonne power-to-weight ratio. Then there's the two-wheel drive Ariel Atom V8 with 748bhp/tonne and the Citroen DS3 Rallycross car with only 577bhp/tonne but all-important four-wheel drive. Oh, and did we mention it's wet? What would you like to see go head-to-head in our next drag race? Let us know in the comments below

Bike weight to power always favor them in acceleration. This was a pointless test. Put a few big turns in and the bike has a major disadvantage. A funny car drag racer will beat all these I bet if you match the HP to weight of the atom much less the bike.

What a waste of a good matchup. Simply postpone it until the track is dry. why even bother with this? BTW, I always skip to the end of videos that tout a drag race that lasts seconds but are 10 minutes long of bloviating narrators.

Saying the ATom -got thumped- even in the -slightly drier- conditions where it was likely still spinning it's tires I feel is speaking from a position of someone who has something against Ariel's cars for some reason.

Given the rider has an area of driven rubber to tarmac about the size of a playing card and it was wet, I was surprised he managed to hook up as well as he did.

Does it ever do anything but rain there, why even do a test like this in soppy old England! Is the suicide rate higher in Merry old England?
reply

You need a raincoat more like it buddy, don't know why they haven't put a fairing on for streamlining anyway, or a closed cockpit.

Silly idea to drag race such machines, especially the Atom, I guess on a track, be it wet or dry, the bike would be left way behind.
