Really, you need to know: The Great Race is better on pretty much every dimension than Aeroplane – comedic timing, joke density, meme-ability, sound track, cringe-resistance… It’s just, better.

Haven’t seen it but that’s a BOLD statement. I would like someone else’s opinion who has seen both.
IMDB user ratings has Airplane! beating The Great Race 7.7 to 7.2. the trailer for the Great Race doesn’t contain a single joke.
Maybe you just didn’t get the jokes?
Watch them yourself, no one else’s opinion matters. But mine is actually correct.
Edit: they are admittedly very different movies, both really well done. But TGR has absolutely epic production that’s not necessarily obvious on the surface. The big fist fight, for instance – the moment when Leslie stage dives is choreographed with so much detail, and most of the stunts in that shot are tossed aside like croutons, but absolutely make the scene.
To say nothing of the best pie fight in screen history.
And: more brandy!
