Think you can drive?

Midfield amongst one of the strongest sets of rally drivers the world has ever seen, so much talent out there right now.
I dont think that is true, I think some people just have more talent than others at certain things, and he clearly has a lot of driving talent, his car control is unreal.
If you applied that logic, you would assume that every person could do everything anyone else does, and thats clearly not the case.
I dont beleive that with the same practice I could be as good at driving as him, or as good at kicking an old bit of leather about as wayne rooney either for example, or as good at physics as albert einstien, they were all born with particular extremes of gifts for certain attributes that I and most others werent.
as you said with all the time in the world and money most could do it

Im sure it takes more than one attempt, but it takes him a fucksight less than it would the rest of us I suspect!

I think some people are wrong.
Ken Block is unbelievable behind the wheel to do even half that stuff, at half that speed..
But the current WRC drivers are just beyond belief.

People love to slag him off, presumably because of jealousy, when he's clearly a very talented driver. Just to finish midfield in WRC takes exceptional skill.
thats just my opinion, i like watchin his videos but dont think hes upto much in wrc... maybe im wrong.
If I managed what he has set out to do (ie be 5th or so in WRC) I would think I'd done really fucking well, and he seems to be on course to do so considering he's relatively near that pace with so little experience of WRC so far.
He's not used to driving places he doesnt know, I reckon his car control is a match for Loeb or anyone else, but his ability to predict a rally stage isnt, thats goign to get better with experience.

Even the guy that comes last in wrc, is a long way from being shit. Lol
I think if you were on board these cars, it would truly terrify you..Exactly the same with f1.
I've been out with a pro rally driver (higgins) on a gravel stage, and to say it was eye opening is a slight understatement!
