Meh... (The car itself is epic but I'm not really feeling the whole doing it for sponsors/internet fame thing if thats the route hes going down again) I agree , i do not actually think he is a anything special amongst drivers , its just marketing to appeal to Yanks . I saw him do a rally stage video and it was all stuff about how dangerous it was - he was curse word and the track was about 15 mteres wide with loads of runoff before the trees . Try doing it in a scandinavian wood instead and then we will see how good your car control is ! |

Tbh, he was pretty poor in WRC! But he's at Santa Pod this weekend, now I'll be on the lookout for that Mk2!

That looks great! I was quite surprised that he chose a Mk2 Escort, but I suppose being a rally nut he's bound to go for a rallying icon of some kind.

I like his car control and his stunt driving,then found out he was a rally driver thought he would be a champ but he seams to crash a lot
still you cant be good at everything.

Darren McNamara is on the case...  Don't quote me but I think one of Block's sponsors is Ford. Fiesta, Focus, Mustang, Escort... |

That's bladdy lavlay. Not a huge fan of the wheels but at least they're not minilites or rs fours.
Block isn't the most talented rally driver at all (although he is probably better than me), but what he lacks in technical skill he more than makes up for in flamboyance, which is why his videos are so good to watch. More like drifting than rallying.

Quite frankly, how good or bad he is at rallying is irrelavant to me.
This bloke is living his and most of OUR dreams. All said & done he gets paid to hoon about sideways in a Ford. If any of you wouldn't like to be doing THAT for a living, you shouldn't be on this hallowed forum IMHO.

Yeah screw him and his love of cars and his ability to make a living at it. Exactly! I don't get this whole hating Ken Block thing. He loves cars He plays a rather central roll in making videos that we all watch He gets to drive the coolest stuff He does a job that most of us can only dream of He earns far more than we do Then he earns some more I wager that he is a far better driver than anyone this forum * Bloody good luck to him, and thanks for the entertainment. *unless anyone begs to differ... |
