You're on to me, Paul!

Interesting, it'st not my style of clothing but cool ralley car commercial, too long but that Ken Block is a Hell of a driver, the rock & roll sound track at the beginning was way better, than the silly Indian sitar music at the ending...

As good as he is (and he has talent), he is merely just average in a World Rally car.   Wow.

This clip below is new and pretty impressive.

I have been watching him on the WRC circuit over the past 2 yrs and he is getting better but is still making mistakes that are taking him out of races. Would like to see him do better though.

[surmanajaja]

actually he is way below average...he would not be driving in wrc if he didnt have huge sponsors.

and those videos are edited after 100 takes, doesnt take much talent if you can try again and again.

Yep, Ken block is mediocre at best, hes got big sponsors cause hes VERY good at one thing....showboating, and thats what those sponsors want.

Actually, to be perfectly honest, I don't know much about the guy. I just thought it was cool to watch.  

Found this to be funny, especially funny at around 2:15.

Define "good". Is he in the top 10? Top 25? Top 100? Generally, Single A baseball players are many times better than the Average Joe could ever hope to be and they may not even be in the Top 3,000. Even if he's only ever remembered for these videos he's had more opportunity than most of us.

The guys at the front end of the field are on a whole 'nother level.   But even a mediocre WRC driver still has talent that is other-worldly to the rest of us.    Even if you are a "pay to drive" guy and bring all your own funding, you don't survive at that level if you can't hack it.

I am not saying he cant drive at all. but "other wordly", come on...I know literally hundreds of guys from my small country who have no problem driving the same way if you just give them a good car.

Mr Block hasnt even won any of your local championships...

yesterday there was a race in Charlotte, NC: there was 2 Finns there and Marcus won everything there was to win easily, and hes a retired rally driver.. mr block was 5th.
