    I had a ~65hp fiesta, handled like a go-kart!

    Imagine ten times that and less weight!

    I don't know what it is, but ever since he joined the WRC and has been...poor to say the least, I can't help but watch these videos and go 'yeah good car control, pity youre not quick though'.

    For someone who is so used to rally cars, I expected him to do OK in WRC, but he has been...shocking. Even Kimi Raikkonen in his very first year in a rally car has been better than him.

    I'm not belittling his achievement in making this video, but theyre highly edited. He's obviously a very good driver, but the popularity of these videos means that people think hes a driving god, when there are far more skilled drivers driving in the same series as him.

    Lads its hard not to be impressed with the driving, and especially with the car - a 650bhp Fiesta!? Its an animal.

    I agree with other comments though, anytime I seehim competing in a WRC event the Focus ends up backwards in a hedge....

    im only using raikkonen as an example since im a fan of his, but raikkonen has NEVER driven a rally car prior to last year, ken block is a very established rally driver. in their respective first years in WRC this year, it was expected ken block would show kimi how its done. However, they both have frequently crashed, but kimi has been far more impressive, and without any rally experience.

    As I said before, its not to belittle the achievement of making this video, I'd just like to see the likes of Sebastien Loeb or Mikko Hirvonen do a video like this!
