Man vs MiTo: Which is faster? (w/VIDEOS)

Which is faster? Man or MiTo? That’s the question posed by Alfa Romeo in a light-hearted social campaign run on Facebook. Olympian Iwan Thomas was challenged to beat an Alfa MiTo in a 3.8-mile race around central London’s bustling city streets, starting and finishing at Tower Bridge.

European and Commonwealth 110m hurdles Champion Andy Turner took the driver’s seat, with ‘pinpoint’ navigational assistance provided by UK Long Jump record holder Chris Tomlinson. The race was on, but who won? Find out below.
