I mean... good for block exposing more of the mainstream media to rally and whatnot. However, I am also unimpressed by him. I really do hope he can shape up and start actually competing, it'd be great for US motorsports.

I'm not trying to pick sides or anything here as this guy really has no impact on my life or anything so I could care less about the guy really. But I guess I don't understand the "I could do it if I had as much seat time as him" arguement. Maybe help me understand that arguement more?
Because they way I see life in general, a majority of people get to be professionals at what they due (whether its sports players, or the accountant in the cube next to you) with practice. Sure thre is the occasional prodigy that comes along. But most people are good at what they do from practice. So I guess I don't see where that makes them wrong.

But everyone is entitled to their own opinion, different strokes for different folks :) That's all, good day :)

The only reason Block is where he is, is because of his money. It's cool that he likes motorsports and everything, but if he can't act like a professional then IMO he doesn't deserve the attention he gets. I'm with Matt on the argument that if you put anyone who understands the way a car like that drives, they could do what he does as well if not better than him, given the amount of seat time he has had.

Another point I have against him is that I wonder how many takes they have to do to get most of his big slides done right. When you watch his videos, any time there's a big slide, there's always skid marks from the previous attempts at it. I'd like to see an outtakes video from the making of one of his "big productions".

I guess I just don't see why he is such a big deal.

Same can be said about almost everything/anyone. Im sure i could be a better driver than shumacher if i had the seat time/training that he did. im sorry but that arguement is getting old, fast.
Natural talent can get you so far, but if you dont have the money/sponsors/marketability you wont last.

LOL so true.

Yea I really dont get this thread either.

Who cares who he is or what he does. If you dont like him, dont pay attention to him. I dont like tons of celebrities. You dont see me making posts about Bill Maher or Beyonce everyday.

If you guys are so good at driving, try and beat him at his own game and be a millionaire?
