I have seen this in an old Top Gear episode.
I think Tiff drives an Aston Martin and Vicki rides along with a Jaguar fighter jet. I think they reach similare result. The car was quicker up until the jet takes off the ground.

My bud was talking about this tonight. I love those little novelty races, but the numbers the F1 posted were very good for a car thats suited to road racing and not dragracing. Thanks for the links

I don't see why this was such big news (all over TV yesterday)..
This has been done several times before, with CART cars, corvettes, etc etc
Top-Gear even did a full race around their track with the Harrier.
Pretty lame if you ask me..

Patrick Carpentier of the now gone Player's Forsythe team runing in the CART series has raced a CF-18 and won. I can't remember the distance but the victory was clear!
