Yeah I'm afraid I really only see him as a car park king, sub par at any real motorsport but great at showing off when it doesn't really
matter. Shame really, I wanted him to do well in rally. I suspect that wasn't even a good peak time either, and given the machine he's in
it really just shows his priority. But I guess that's his choice and he's happy with it!
And to negate someone's view because they're an observer, not a competitor, is not really fair. If it was a positive view you'd not
be saying "what do you know, you're no winner".

No he doesn't do well in motorsort ,WRC or World RallyX.

Nothing, apart from make some really entertaining videos.
I love watching them, they make no sense whatsoever but that's there appeal oh and the cars.
It's all rehearsed over and over but still great to watch.
I thought he might do well in rallying but no he's not, you can't really practise that!

Exactly
Take the video for what it is,the same as all his videos.
A awesome car driven by someone that can handle it sideways very well and the best hillclimb course in the world
I don't know whether he is a good driver or not, but I don't like the whole tyre smoking thing he does. In my view a good driver would go
fast without all the drama.
I have to go with the "OK driver, great PR team" camp on this one I'm afraid.
I've watched his YouTube videos and yes they're entertaining. IIRC he did one around San Francisco. I was more intrigued by how the city
seemed to have shut down and vacated the venue myself.
Before anyone says it - No I can't drive like that - I've never been blessed with the space, film crew, money or more importantly the car
to do it.
I find Ari Vatanen driving a 205 T16 in a proper rally event more appealing to watch. Overpowered cars, naff all spectator discipline and kahunas of
Titanium coated in Titanium, with a Titanium buff for good measure. I'd better stop about Group B rallying before I go off on one.

That's just a playground argument. You got a crush on old Ken?
No,just nowhere was it mentioned he was a good rally driver,so nothing to do with that video really.
Just the way of forums I suppose, bitter/jealous people sat on the sofa
No one has claimed they could do better, just that he's not a particularly great driver when compared to others in the motorsports events in
which he has completed. Are you saying this is incorrect and that he is in fact a driving god?
He has plenty of wealth and sufficient driving talent to make a spectacle, but an awesome driver he is not.
If that makes me a bitter/jealous person sat on a sofa then fine by me. I'll take that over having an outrageous man crush on a minor
celebrity.
It's quite a car and very well put together, It's not been without its niggles though,
Main problem though has been the induction noise with the throttle bodies hanging through the bonnet,
It blows up noise meters everywhere i take it, Static noise at Brands was 95db, Full throttle drive-by was 108db
Tucked away now for winter with a full tear down and rebuild to IVA standard about to commence,
