I don't think the video of Ari Vatinen was all that special.We have heaps of home vids like that from our quads.

I love how all the haters come out.

just a few points;

1 He has never claimed to be as good as the WRC guys
2 If you cant appreciate the skill he has you are a dipsht
3 He is a brand promotional tool making money by being entertaining

He is great for motorsport people want to watch his videos.

And it didnt look like he had too many practise runs judging by how few tyre marks were on the track.

I believe that the nature of gymkana is that it has to be done in one pass that was what was stated in the first 2 vids

spot on...i hope you havnt taken my posts as being one of the "hater" because i am a fan, my 1st post was to point out ive had many conversations with ppl saying "he is the best driver in the world" & trust me ive heard it alot. id give one of my nuts to go for a drive with ken. I should of said if you got one of the regular WRC boys to do a similar drive it would be very much the same, maybe a little better.

ken block runs the track tonnes of times before they film just look at marks on turns and corners

yes he has skill but not ass much as some of the drifters out there who run a hill or track look on youtube and you will find plenty who know their car that well they do it first runs on a track

check out aussie drifter luke fink that kid has loads of talent

Drift is gay too many rice burners, the only decent drift car is that black Monaro that carves up. Laughing Laughing

He is one talented guy.

I loved near the start where he rubs the wall with back end and they replay it from the cockpit, you see the look on his face as he knows his overdone it and waits for the rub, classic.

A true showman, how much fun would doing that be, then getting paid for it.

Ken block is coming to oz next year bet you he draws a crowd. He gets paid big bucks from monster. You dont have to win to be the best or to get paid the most. He is a business man and the best at it thats why he sells his company dc sell alot of shoes.
