I'm not at all surprised, his gymkhana videos never meant he was skilled at racing, of course you'd be able to do some eye popping stuff if you do it over and over again. WRC is all driver and no tricks. I hope he picks it up fast if he doesn't want to become an embarrassment to WRC.

Ken Block has a LONG way to go and if he wants to join the big goys, he'll need to outdo the likes of this individual.

As good of a driver as he is, in reality Ken Block is nowhere near the level of top WRC drivers, not even close. He's just publicized, and in a way marketed, a lot more through all his insane videos. So it's the result of media hype and peoples subsequent assumptions that make us believe he's elite

real WR drivers train every day on loose surfaces he just fucks around in an airfield that he "knows"

he needs to train and get in sync with his codriver too at least.

Ken Block is a great stunt driver and i think he can do well in WRC, but right now he is RAW talent. He has the potential and the skill, but he has to realize that he isnt this shit right now and he needs to walk before he can run. For Ken it will all come down to attitude and ability to take guidence. Gluck to him
