Look at all the tyre makes at the number of attempts he had had though, then they just show you the one that looks best.
Not saying it isnt impressive, it is, but if he did that in one edit, it would be mind blowing driving accuracy, but having 50 goes at each corner just kind of makes me think "so what" really.

Yeah, would be cool to see with a cossie, but just watch some of the old rallying 3 doors in action and its equally impressive IMHO, they are sideways down roads they dont know and only have a vague pace note for, rather than round something they have practiced again and again and again.

Ken block started DC with a mate. Then sold it to Quiksilver a few years ago. He is still an advisor with them

Always kinda think with him its a rich guy who is bored so does things like this.

Well he does rally in the US and he and Pastrana are doing a lot to promote it and build up a following. They both came over and drove a Mk2 and a Mk1 Escort in the Colin McRae Stages in September and did a pretty good job and both were top blokes chatting to everyone in the service area etc.

Fair enough he took a few takes there but I would say would be pretty difficult for anyone to hit that in one go

Yes it would, hence me saying it would be so impressive if they did.
