No way Shumacher will take it. He would lose. F1 drivers only think they are the best drivers in the world.

 

I would LOVE to see that!!

But I think the F1 race would have to be AT LEAST 20 laps of the Ring.

Schumacher wins after McRae blows the rear tires after 10 laps due to trying to maintain a 20° slip angle.

 

That is an awesome idea! Id love to see the results. My money would be on Mcrae.

 

anyone else find this as silly as Michael Jordan being challenged by Jerry Rice? Makes for great publicity and good for charity, but come on, they are all athletes competing in very different sports. its hardly a question of who is the best "driver" in as much as who is the best athlete. McRae wishes he made as much money as Schumacher.

 

that would be awesome to see. I think each would win in his own class though.

 

another dumb duel

 

yeah, duels for charity that could have the potential of bringing in big crowds and big money are dumb.......

How would it be dumb if it brought money to a charity?

Zach---> who must not understand this post.

 

you could have cut the sarcasm with a knife in my reply, hence the crooky face at the end

If this were to happen, my guess is that everyone would be a little surprised how close McRae was in the F1 car and how close Shumi was in a rally car... McRae actually tested (a Jordan?) and Derek Warwick got in an Escort a few years back and ran top 10 times in the Rally GB.

Throw Robby Gordon and Tony Stewart into the mix and televise the whole deal.

Well... McRae does have F1 experience in a Jag! AND.... Schumi, I hear, does have a rally experience. It should be interesting...

 

apples and oranges

that's fine...they are both fruits...

 

this will be very interesting if it goes down, i have a good feeling that McRae will get punked, but we'll see.

 

don't we all

 

and im sure Michael wishes he had as much money as Bernie Eccelstone

 

screw that, throw them both on these:

I'd pay a dollar to see that!!!

Me too

 

I doubt this will ever go down, but if it does i really think that MS will have a lot less trouble handling an (relatively speaking)overweight, underpowered WRC car than McRae will a 900hp 1100lb F1 car....

 

ok for charity...that's cool...anything else

 

The challenge wont be in the cars themselves, but in the drivers ability to change and adapt to the new racing environment. Since change and adaptation is the name of the game in rallying, Colin will be naturally suited to this. Colin tested with Jaguar a couple years ago and ran extremely fast laptimes at silverstone. So he is already familiar with the cars.
Rallying is so extremely different from circuit racing (blind corners, never see the stage, loose and changing surfaces, etc) I dont think Schumi will be able to adapt quick enough.

Schumacher will get 0wn3d and you road racing weenies will have to move down a notch for the real top of the "pyramid of speed"

Shu will win in the F1 car, McRae in the rally.

 

I'd watch, but only if JV co-drove for MS.

 

The biggest problem is: who would sit right seat for Schumi? For that fact alone, I think Schumi wouldn't accept. A driver/navigator relationship takes a long time to develop.

And I don't think you could make a fair test without a navigator... then it's just running through a preset, short course of dirt.

 

Montoya? lol
