Cars designed for high speed will have a significant advantage over a motorcycle through capturing down forces to dramatically increase the amount of friction between the tires and the surface before losing grip and spinning out. Motorcycles can own the power to weight ratio category, but they can't use all that power because at that point the wheels just spin. I found it super interesting when I learned that one of the biggest advances in maze solving races is that someone ended up putting a fan in their little "mouse" to push down so the wheels could get more traction. https://hackaday.com/2008/11/26/vacuum-micromouse/ https://hackaday.com/2008/11/26/vacuum-micromouse/ More details on maze racing from Veritasium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMQbHMgK2rw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMQbHMgK2rw
