Which of these cars would win in a race?

Maclaren F1 vs Ferrari F50 GT. Which of these super race cars would win in a 250 mile 5 lap oval race?

• Answer:

  The end result would most likely depend on whatever specific rules were set for the race. For example, who would be driving each car? Would they be limited to the rubber choice that came from the factory? What about gearing - would this also be set as it was from the factory or would they be allowed to change gearing? Along with the required safety changes, would there be allowed any other changes to the chasis? Would there be fuel limits? And so forth... In the end, it would come down to which ever car had the higher top speed. 250 miles is probably not enough that either would be out of range of a full fuel load, and an oval that is 25 miles around would not have any corner sharp enough to require braking... even if street rubber were required. I beleive the Maclaren had a higher maximum speed... but this would not really be much of a race which ever two cars you decided to bring.
