This is the Ultimate Race: F1-Car vs. Rally-Car vs. Drift-Car vs. Pro4 Truck

This is the Ultimate Race: F1-Car vs. Rally-Car vs. Drift-Car vs. Pro4 Truck – Madness on Wheels

In the world of motorsport, there are few questions bigger than, "Who would win in a race between a Formula 1 car, a rally car, a drift car, and a Pro4 truck?" Alright, maybe it’s not the biggest question, but it's definitely up there with "Why doesn’t pizza come in circular boxes?" Fortunately, Red Bull decided to give us answers to one of these pressing mysteries.

The Hybrid Track – Where Asphalt Meets Dirt, and Sanity Takes a Backseat

The track is the real hero here—a Frankensteinian masterpiece of motorsport chaos designed to suit each racing discipline. Part smooth tarmac, part dirt, part sideways-sliding madness. There are joker lanes because, let’s face it, without them, the F1 car would laugh everyone off the track while the Pro4 truck digs itself a nice grave in the dirt section. These lanes throw everyone a curveball, quite literally, and give every car a shot at glory (or at least not getting completely humiliated).

Meet the Four-Wheeled Gladiators:

• The Pro4 Truck: Piloted by off-road champion Andrew Carlson, this 4500-pound monster has 950 bhp and eats jumps for breakfast. It’s like a mountain goat on steroids, and its motto is probably “Speed? Nah, we’re here for air.”

• Mad Mike Whiddett’s McLaren P1 Drift Car: Imagine taking a multi-million dollar hypercar and saying, “I wonder how this thing slides sideways?” That’s exactly what Mad Mike did with his 1000 bhp, 3085-pound McLaren. It’s sleek, it’s fast, and it drifts like your Uber driver in the rain—except on purpose.

• Scott Speed’s Rallycross Subaru: This 2865-pound, 600-bhp little beast is driven by a guy whose last name literally means fast. Scott Speed knows how to send a car flying over dirt and pavement alike, making this Subaru the wildcard of the bunch—small, but tough as nails.

• The Red Bull RB7 F1 Car: Last but definitely not least, we have the car that was probably designed by aliens. Weighing in at a featherlight 640 kg (1400 lbs), with 750 bhp, this thing is more rocket than car, and it’s driven by Patrick Friesacher, who knows a thing or two about going blisteringly fast in a straight line (and around corners, but with less drama).

Start Your Engines: The Ultimate Showdown Begins

The flag drops, and immediately, it’s a clash of cultures. The F1 car screams off the line, making everyone else feel like they’re on a Sunday drive. The Pro4 truck? Well, it’s busy flexing its suspension and making gravity its plaything. Meanwhile, Mad Mike is already drifting into a corner, defying both physics and common sense, while the Rallycross Subaru bounces over dirt mounds like it’s on a mission to break every tie rod in existence.

The Joker Lanes: Where Strategies Go to Die

The joker lanes were designed to level the playing field, but they seem more like a chaotic experiment in motorsport diplomacy. The F1 car, of course, treats the dirt section like it’s driving through quicksand, while the Pro4 truck thrives, using every jump as a springboard to catch some air time. Mad Mike’s McLaren is sliding so sideways, you’d think he’s playing a game of Mario Kart, and the Rallycross Subaru? Well, it’s making itself right at home, probably snacking on some gravel between gears.

Top Speed? Sure, But Can You Survive the Dirt?

At one point, the F1 car hits a mind-blowing 179 mph (288 km/h) on the tarmac, making it look like everyone else is stuck in second gear. But then it hits the dirt and, well, let’s just say no one’s calling the FIA to get rally stages added to the Formula 1 calendar anytime soon. Meanwhile, the Pro4 truck is out there having the time of its life, pretending every mound is a personal trampoline.

The Final Stretch: Carnage, Glory, and a Lot of Dust

As the finish line approaches, the F1 car is out in front on the smooth stuff, but every time the track gets rough, it loses ground—literally. The Subaru is doing what it does best: bouncing, sliding, and going sideways, while Mad Mike’s McLaren is drifting so hard, you can practically hear the tires weeping. The Pro4 truck? Well, it’s probably halfway through building a new mountain with all the dirt it’s kicking up.

In the end, who crosses the finish line first? You’ll have to watch to find out, but let's just say that sometimes being the fastest isn’t enough—especially when there’s dirt involved.
