Funny, some of the hardcore Rally guys back home think he's a joke.. I really don't care TBH, if it brings Ford into the light over in the US that there ARE other cars besides the Mustang, I'm all for it lol.

i cannot wait to see what the fiesta and focus will look like, and his next year signature shoes for that matter! i had to get his current shoes from poland lol, cannot get hold of the driving shoes tho.. gutted lol

good shout
the fact is he is bringing rallying to a whole new audience! just because he messes about with his car in his spare time is upto him, it doesnt make him a joke... i know if i got the chance to jump a subaru while travis pastrana is doing a backflip over me id jump at the chance!
he will change the face of rallying fact!

Good for the sport and for ford as it will open it up to more people but dout he will be at the top of the points board. Travis was beating him in the USA rallying and when he did the McRae stages he wasnt that quick.

thing is, you can't buy that sort of publicity wihtout bringing a household name to the market
just look at what was going on when they said schumaker was going to drive a bike?
or when beckahm was going to start kicking a soccer ball

recon hes only a household name for the youtube and car heads only.thats not really a large part of the population and most rally/wrc fans see him as a stunt driver...
if we see him competitive id be suprized.
obiously a much better driver than me and possibily all of you but the same gap again from him to wrc heads

i dont see why people are saying they dont take him as a serious driver just because he does something extra with his car? fair enough jumping a car 70ft might not be a big skill as its down to science and big balls, but the gymkhana videos tho still takes a hell of alot of skill...
and for the people who are saying he isnt the best driver, that may be so i am not saying he is the best in the world right now but he only started in 2005... take jenson button for example, how long was he racing untill he got his first win? 9 years or sumit
i mean come on i think some people are being picky, im not just meaning on here i mean the media too

Got some bad news for you Neil, Ken Block was in the McRae stages... he was that slow i guess you didnt even realise who he was.
I'll be surprised if he isnt well down the WRC field.

I think the main point is that the publicity will be brought with him.
Have to say it will be interesting to see how fast he can be over a stage rather than an airfield where he can practice a set course for weeks.

every one love to jump down you throat on this site i just think ken block is well over hyped i not doubting the guy can drive but ppl labeling him a legend and thinking hes the best thing since slices bread just because he released a you tube video that apprently cost a million quid to make ands highly edited
there are far more capable drivers out there as you will see when he races in the wrc
as for being jelous sure i am id love to have a job where i drive a rally car and get millions for it even if im not that great he probably makes more cash than most wrc drivers anyways

Wait, you mean he's actually going to try to race?? here I was thinking that crashing was his thing lol.

Personally, I would LOVE to see the Focus RS sold here.. .I'm not holding my breath.
#31
I highly doubt it would be around 30k, I think it would be closer mid to 40k. We'll have to continue this when and if they ever bring it over.. then we can compare prices lol.
