On a rack track nothing can beat a sports bike suck as Ducati 999. A bike can just out corner any car .

not entirely true. cars can be faster for different reasons. cars have more grip than bikes because of more rubber and also because cars can generate downforce, bikes simply can't. more grip allows for faster braking and more corner speeds depending on the weight of the car in question. so no, your statement that a bike can just out corner any car is wrong. the fastest track bikes in the world are the 990cc motogp bikes. but at laguna seca alone, a 2-stroke 500cc super go cart was able to achieve faster lap times than motogp qualifying lap times. think about that.

I don't have to even read the article to give you that answer. The Ducati can probably hit 60mph in about 2 seconds and outcorner the Lambo with no problem.

For the Lambo to be only down by 0.44 seconds is pretty impressive regardless.

It mostly depends on the track. Clarkson beat a bike with a 911 around some track a long while back (cant remember) and more recently around their test track with an Ariel Atom.
