Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Evo IX vs Yamaha R1 and WR450F on Ice

Can you do a wheelie and ride a bike up to triple digit speeds on ice? Of course you can, the adjacent video is the perfect proof. However, the clip brings so much more, as it offers us not one, but two car vs bike fights, with everything taking place on ice.
French French motorcycle magazine Moto Journal is offering us a battle between a Porsche 911 G3 RS and a 1,000cc Yamaha R1, as well as one between a Mitsubishi Evo IX and a Yamaha WR450F. The action takes place in the snow & ice of Lapland, where a replica of the Le Castellet race track is located.

This is called Circuit Paul Ricard and sees the aforementioned machines being stretched to their limits. Want an example? The R1 hits more than 160 mph (258 km/h) during the run.
