Well, I don't think they've raced against a commercial airliner yet....

I think they did try that a while back- I think they raced either a Bugatti or one of the more exclusive Ferraris against a plane.
As I recall, they started from central London and handicapped the airline traveller by making him get to the airport....

The only Air plane race I remember was the Bugatti Veyron vs. private aircraft from Northern Italy to London. The private air craft was a Cessna, and the pilot was James May. Unfortunately, James May didn't have the qualifications for night flying, so they had to finish their trip by taking the train accross the channel. The Bugatti won that race.
However, I still don't recall them racing against any commercial airliners... If they did/do, I bet they'll start and end the race no where near an airport, and not allow the non-car team to take taxi cabs... like normal.
