Huh. I knew Ken Block could drive, and I'm glad there's video out there than can prove it.
He just needs to improve on his consistency. He won't be the next Loeb, but I think he has the potential to be a real contender in the driver's championship.

I think his pacenotes are a little skimpy if you ask me. If you listen to P Solb pacenotes, they sound a lot more detailed and informative about the stage whereas blocks notes are very short and little detailed. I'm guessing this is due to Peter's experience to ken's but we will see with time.
I think he's doing quite good for a newbie, but it's not fear to put him up against the top drivers like Loeb and Solberg.... They are in another leauge.. I bet he's result are going to improve as he drives more and more, buut unfortnetatly it's a bit to late to start his way to the top.. To the people that look at the scoreboard... Look at the times not the place... It's not many WRC cars in a WRC rally..
after reading some comments here I realized that 90% of the people just put "Ken Block" on the search and finished wathcing this AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT RALLYING!
SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FCKNG IDEA, DON'T POST A STUPID COMMENT!
are all americans like that? discussing about nothing? insulting? are you 7 years old for ever? go play some xbox
and he IS slow, and that is not bad because he is LEARNING
in my opinion he should learn in a lesser car, so he can reach his potential, is a waste of $
@FlacoRalicero i think the reasons why ken is so slow are because he isn't confident enough, he is still learning (yes i know you oppose this), and he maybe feel a bit insecure competing against loeb and the lot.
@wakojako49 I don't opose that he is learning, even Seb Loeb is still learning, is just he is so new in rallying. In fact I know that next year he will make the complete season: thats what he needs
@FlacoRalicero ow right i get what you mean. ken has been doing rally for a quite some time and he won some of them, but that's in the USA. Now that his in WRC its just way tooo different to what his used to. i agree with you, actually i don't exactly get why ken enters every other races. if he want to be familiar with the tracks he should do the complete season.
@BrnoutJerzey ohh lol where did i say i can drive faster? lmao, child stop loving the the DC show monkey, cause compared to real rally drivers, hes just a dc show monkey.
I absolutely loved this onboard! I was extremely happy with the camera placement -- you didn't miss anything (perhaps apart from the view of the driver at work, but I can live without that): the road, the car position, the surface, the speed -- everything was there to see.
Also, it's nice to watch action onboard of a driver who is not so perfect at his trade yet ;) I mean, Ken is surely up to the job, but he still makes mistakes.
Finally, the Deutschland rally. Boy, it's so nice and varied!
He doesn't look that slow. He can drive a lot better than you or me. Despite being 8, or 10, or however many minutes off the lead, he is still driving pretty fast!!
I can't understand why americans come here and talk about rallying if they know a SHIT about rallying!!! you don't even know what car your national driver drives!!! go see some nascar and xgames (xgames are NOT rally, rally is the man and the car against the MOUNTAIN, not against a stadium)
and Ken Block need to learn a lot... he should drive a S2000 or a N4 car to learn the basic things, like making pace notes...
@FlacoRalicero WRC cars are changing over to S2000 next year i believe. The Fiesta will replace the Focus altogether. But i agree that Block has thrown himself into the deep end, but fair play to him for taking on the challenge
@arteddie to tell you the truth i deeply respect now ken block. Before i thought of him as a show boasting drift wannabe but for taking on WRC like that.... damn i have nothing to say.
@wakojako49 i totally agree with you. Even tho the drift stuff is cool and Block does it very well it doesn't mean that you will be brilliant on a WRC. But Block at least recognises this and accepts that he is still new to ralling. I mean Germany is his 1st proper time on tarmac/asphalt and he's done a gd job so far.
Sometimes i don't know how Block can focus with Gelsomino's accent. haha. And obviously hes not that great, it's his first WRC series. But everyone has to start somewhere.
why Alex is clapping sometimes? :D
