    Makes quality videos, though.

    Used to at least. Don't think I ever heard or watched it in last 2 or 3 years. Maybe even more than that.

    Autotest/Gymkhana is his thing. He and his team create excellent quality videos and as a result he's become a superstar. Monster and Ford have really elevated his profile through their sponsorship.

    He's a good driver. But there are many rally drivers who are faster on the stages than him.

    Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he crashes into a ditch more frequently than others? He also has a few technical faults too.

    Nothing against Block, I'm a big fan of the Gymkhana series since back in the day but I just don't take him too seriously as a rally driver. Maybe autocross would be better for him. I don't see him on the same page as someone like David Higgins.
