Sad but true,"Haters hate".People have to recognise jealousy from a far becouse honestly you 2 can't even do one of the things these guys can , except maybe to show off like them and to start the engine...Anyways it's a good vid =)
What some idiots don't realise is... Kens using a 2010 WRC Ford Focus RS at around 325bhp and then Mikko is using a 2011 WRC Ford Fiesta RS at S2000 Spec Level, not quiet sure of the BHP on it though.. but Ken is deffinatly over rated at gets too much credit for Gymkhana, he even said himself that he doers each corner over and over too get it right, its all fixed.. and he knows the track, where as Mikko, only has pass notes and shakedown too guide him through.
@Coreytherocker I agree with you man, but that fiesta is not s2000. it´s 1.6 turbo it´s a wrc 2011. s2000 has other specs. and don´t try to explain people why ken can´t be compared with top drivers.. they wouldn´t understand you.. the thruth is shown by chronometers not by the smoking tyres. and yeah rally it´s about pace notes not to recognize circuit over 1000 times.
@rodrispy Finally someone with common sense, but Im sorry to correct you but I was told by a worker at the M-Sport factory who make Ford Rally Cars, that the Spec-Models for the 2011 season would be S2000 Cars which is new WRC Spec with Ford Eco Boost so the cars would be just as quick, but I could be wrong as this could be Kens American Open Class Car.. :)
@Coreytherocker I was talking about wrc specs trust me!. you can find specs in ford wrt site.. by the way Im argentinian an I watch this sport since I have memories.. and rally it´s the most exciting sport at 4 wheels.. I saw block racing this year too.. and he isn´t the showman he is in gymkhana.. people who like rally understand me!!
@rodrispy What?! O.o the WRC annouced on their Website last year that the cars will be S2000 Spec Level, thats why the Revs are alot higher..
and yeah me to I was born in 1995 when i was 2 Was my First Wales Rally GB when i was 5 I met Colin McRae and ever since Ive not mised a single rally local or WRC in Britain :) but qwith the S2000 Levels again I could be mistaken, but Citroen DS3's are deffinately S2000, so the Ford Eco Boost could be something to help it reach S2000 :)
@Coreytherocker read the specs for this year.. I was right.. it´s from official wrc web site.. by the way.. the revs are higher cause the engine it´s smaller and the power it´s almost the same cars are a bit lighter too..
@w1rYc Focus ? you mean his Ford Fiesta Rallycross ( not sure but i do know rallycross car can have like 600bhp). The Focus that Ken's have is his 2010 WRC car :P
@stubbi wtf , i know it is 08 RS wrc and i dont have to search on internet about iit , im not from US. but i guess it is rebuilted like every other ken´s car. Block just can´t drive whit normal cars.
@w1rYc are you a bit dumb? do you know how much work it would take to rework a WRC engine to a Gymkanha engine? tu rebuild a special build engine to another completely different high-rpm engine?
why should Mr Block do this? he has his special built Fiesta, so why he would let rework his Focus WRC? and its not even the engine, its alot of stuff: suspension, gearbox, brakes, steering. sorry, but your post is bullshit.
@w1rYc and by the way: i dont think that the Monster World Rallye Team would spent more money into another car which is used only for ONE single clip.
@w1rYc Its actual 2009 Edition Focus... the 08 ones were given too the Muchies Ford team and I'm not a yank, I'm Welsh (British) so I'm agreeing with the fact, Yanks cant drive, and they cant spot a car by shape.
OK To all hating Ken Block, please just read the following. Ken Block is nothing more than a guy with a dream. As an America, I can tell you that I am proud that he at least is trying to be competitive in the top sport, WRC. There are other rally drivers in the US like Travis Pastrana, Tanner Foust etc, that may be better than him but did not want to go from getting first place all the time in Rally America to retiring all the time in WRC. Ken deserves respect for that alone. to be continued...
@juan3268 ...continued. As far as Codemaster goes, DO NOT BLAME KEN EITHER. All Ken did was revolutionize the web with his videos. I love watching them. If CODEMASTER thought that they could make more money out of it by changing the game, well it is a business. More market = more sales, more sales = more revenue, more revenue = more growth, more growth = more designers, more designers = better games. When Dirt came it it was the first game for PS3, Dirt2 was a good improvement ...
@juan3268 #3 ... Dirt3 could be a good game. They are going back to what the CMR was all about. So in conclussion, do not hate him, he is just a guy who was able to live the dream. Can he compare to SL, MH, JML, Mackinnen, Richard, Collin, HELL NO, but he is having the time of his life I am sure. By all we know, Ken may be the one pushing CODEMASTERS to make Dirt3 a better rally game and go back to the roots of rally. Let us hope that a good rally game finds our way soon.
@alext10786 Hey if you had the backing and some skills wouldnt you waqnt to drive WRC even though you are not the best. The top guys are GODs but shit i would love to be driving a wrc car in the top 20 of a wrc event
@michaelmcm well said. It is not appropriate to hate on Ken because he isn`t "born" into the sport. I wish him all the best, regardless the fact I support JML and Mikko.
Of course, I would. To be honest, I'm just 'hating'. The lad even seems to be nice, I haven't any reason to dislike him. On the other hand, I do dislike his fans and the fact that Codemasters completely ruined the Colin McRae franchise to a appeal to the American market. Aside from that, it's just a bit of envy, I wish I had that oportunity.
I know Ken's WRC Fiesta is probably still under repair, but why didn't he ship his gymkhana one over?
The Focus looks really lardy and not terribly well suited to this, I bet Codemasters were gutted when they found out their promo had to be done with an outdated car.
