It's true homie. Keep in mind that the C4 is not the hottest sportscar out on the market. The R1 has by far a greater power to weight ratio than the C4, but when it came down to racing on track, the C4 with it's four wide tires easily out braked the R1 and was able to take advantage of the two wheeler and easily pass.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't look like the bike rider is leaning over nearly as much as he could, especially going through the chicane at the end.

acceleration - bike hands down. you cant beat the physics of the power to weight ratio

cornering - car hands down. it's all about contact patch

braking - depends if you're a savvy rider or not and if you're in a corner or not. average rider versus average driver and the car wlll outbreak a bike everytime.

a car will out brake a bike hands down. Cornering is more on the car and driver.

Contact patch, length, height are the problems the bikes face. At least it leans correctly though

I agreed with Vu, the R1 rider didn't lean that hard on the turns, (gotta use all the chicken strips that available) or excelerate hard on the exit either.

I think the driver had more talent over the rider.
Maybe the driver told the rider " If you get in my way I'll run you over"..
