Races don't come much bigger than this one: the Bugatti Veyron against the RAF's new Eurofighter Typhoon jet.

A few of the boys from the RAF got a bit upset that it wasn't a fair fight. So the RAF offered up their base for a proper race: a two-mile sprint between the Veyron and a jet fighter.

That's a mile to the end of the runway and back for the Veyron, while the jet plane - being able to fly and all - had to go a mile straight up in the air and then, well, a mile straight back down again.

A fair fight? Of course not. A close race? You'll just have to wait and watch after the jump
