Seven minutes to burn through a set of tires, remember to order more tires!

In Rally America he retired four times this year, and won one race. he is in 12th place.
In WRC he DNFd twice, and placed 18th and 24th in four races. He can sure drive though. |

Shoot, by "Ken Block" I thought you meant "Sniper." Color me disappointed.

That guy is gonna get seriously hurt someday. I don't think he's in that much control some of the time, it just looks good.
Then, of course, there are edits. I'd like to see his e-brake, joy stick control each brake independently by the direction he moves it. Maybe it partially does now. You know, shove it up and away and it locks the RF, pull back and away and it locks the RR. Straight back locks both rears. |

I feel sorta sorry for his mechanic, then again I guess the guy has job security.

In WRC, Ken is way down the list. Lots of crashes and pranged cars. Kinda like Raikonnen.

A lot of creative tricks for sure, and it looks like great fun. But lets be honest... Ken Block is a "motortainer", not a racer. I can't believe they'd even bother showing up to a WRC event, when a drifting show would be much more appropriate.
