Incredible video! Did you run through any puddles from the biker wetting himself trying to escape the jaws of the beast!?!

Awesome video. I was scared sh**tless! I could not help thinking..."MY GOD!! He is on the wrong side of the road!!" Just could not get used to it.

Sorry I did not see you catch the guy until 2-3 minutes into the video. You pulled out right behind him like you were waiting for him. If you were that much faster you would have caught him in seconds.

It's a public road so you do it gradually. Sorry to be such a disappointment....

Rafal caught up with him by higher corner speeds. The motorcycle was breaking the speed limit on the straights by a reasonable margin at the beginning while Rafal was not.

We weren't actually waiting for the bike. It only turned into a chase when we realised we had caught up

No sorry, we did drive up next to it at the end but I had no idea, that's not my area of expertise :P
