Yeah, I noticed the same kind of thing when I went to Harris Hill in my car last weekend. It's a lot easier to brake late and brake hard in a car than it is in a bike.. a lot more room for error, as it were, because you have 4 contact patches and you can't, well, fall over. Sure, a 1098 would spank a car in the straight because of sheer power-to-weight ratio, but an experienced driver behind the wheel of a car would own the bike in the corners.
