Did you notice that he hit the wall at the begining.
Still he a awesome driver with a lot of Skill.
Not sure what else i can teach him:biggrin:

Did see he hit the wall at the start.
He looks like a awsome driver but i can't help but feel that its all a bit setup. Don't get me wrong he has some serious skills and i would love to be able to do what he can, but in the WRC he is quite low down the field and there are a loads more better drivers. Maybe its the car?

I've been confused by this guy actually, he's clearly got amazing car control but he isn't doing as well in the WRC as I would have expected for someone who's been driving rally cars so much.........
ken block - Demon - 06-08-2018
Exactly my point, can't help but feel that he has all the time to practice making these gymkana video's and comes across as a legend but when compared to other WRC drivers he is not as good as expected.

It must be like football,
I'm ace & tricks & keepie-up's, but **** on a football pitch actually playing the game, so i understand his situation totally:lol:

He was definitely good at marketing himself, but like you guys say he isn't as special as the hype leads us to believe, can't really blame him for doing it I'd give my left testicle to be a rally driver.
ken block - parthiban - 06-08-2018
Absolutely, his marketing of himself is what has got him the WRC drive, I'm guessing the reason he didn't get one before was because he isn't that good a driver.
However I thought he'd be better than Raikkonen in his first year simply because he isn't used to rally driving whereas Block is, but that hasn't appeared to be the case.
