Publicity Stunt: Batmobile vs F1 Car

So the British Grand Prix was on at the weekend, The Dark Knight will be out next week and both events feature over the top super cars... what to do, what to do. It seems some PR person or persons thought that having the Batmobile (AKA The Tumbler) drive around a race track with Toyota's F1 racing machine would do the trick and going by the number of cameras seen in the video it seems to be a success.

Unfortunately the Batpod was also there but luckily it's so hard to drive even a highly trained F1 race driver can't get the stupid thing to work.

The video over at Autoblog is pretty boring but the photos look pretty cool. BTW, they don't actually race because you wouldn't want to embarrass Batman as I'm sure the F1 would kick The Tumbler's ass.
