Would be good to see a decent driver in action like Gronholm, Vatinen or Loeb.
Block is shit.

Come on, be fair, he's a pretty talented peddler.

I'd happily be half as poo as Block and very happy with it.
Don't begrudge the guy the niche he's carved for himself either.

Managed to watch half of it before I got bored.The Westfield guys at the shows do the same tricks with rear wheel drive a sixth of the power but a bit
slower.

Did you not watch him enter a wrc a few years ago, all high fiving and whooping before the start, then once he actually had to drive fast he was shit.
He's now trying rallycross, but will probably go back to driving round industrial estates doing donuts.
I stand by my first statement that proper rally drivers would make it more appealing.

was thinking the same thing. I watched 2013 WRC season highlights the other day. He finished 20th with only 1 point scoring finish. He looked over
weight and out of depth. He only got TV coverage because he is a celebrity.
He can drift, sure. He cant drive fast.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Got to love the internet, I bet he would make everyone on this forum look like a complete donkey.
How can anyone claim that a point scoring WRC driver is "shlt", he's still miles better than you.
And no I dont particularly like him or think the gymkhana videos are that great but claiming he is "shlt" at driving is just hilarious.

He obviously has lots of practice goes at doing the "stunts" as we can see by the tyre marks but it still would take great skill to do
it.
Still better than you or I but agreed that he's not at the top of rallying. He's admitted that himself in the past. The top boys are a
different level again.
Not taking anything away from him - bringing motor sport to the masses albeit trying to sell clothing at the same time, can't blame him for
it.
Love the car, that must be serious piece of kit to rev that hard for that long and not turn itself into a pile of scrap. I'd love to see a spec.

I switched off as soon as the car disappeared in a cloud of smoke. I've no doubt Block is a good driver but pointless tyre smoking really annoys
me.
I'd much rather watch Jean Ragnotti in a Renault 5.

I also agree with this,I dont think he is shit. Dougie Lampkin has skill but I wouldnt expect him to do well in the TT!
Give me as much bum in seat time as he has had and the same car and I would give it a shot, alot of it is not that hard. Dont under estimate the
internet dreamer. Some are just un harnessed talent. . . . And some are sh!t!!
