Matt, he was talking about the video you posted, not WRC scores. In the video you posted, ken block was hanging with foust the whole time and was only behind by a second or so at most.

In the same way that block fan boys idolize him and wear their sideways hats, you idolize anything that isn't ken block for really stupid reasons like: He makes cool videos doing shit you couldn't, has a lot of money and big name sponsors and people like him, and he can't do well in competitions, generally speaking.

Yeah, those are somewhat valid points, but you are a bunch of bandwagon jumpin' on haterade drinking not pro rally drivers. Was there a lack of jealous, celebrity hating threads lately?

This^^

I think his videos are pretty sweet and by no means am a fanboy, but it's annoying when people keep reiterating "HE SUCKS!!1!!11!". He has talent and probably doesn't think he is god's gift to racing himself. Get over it already.

Foust made mistakes, was penalized and still beat him. Did you even watch the video? Foust's lines were impeccable. The only thing Block did better was keeping his bumper on the stacks of tires, something he's done many times in the hundreds of takes it took to make his gymkhana videos.

Do I? You're saying Ken Block is the only one who can do pinpoint turns and roast the tires in an AWD car? I guarantee that if you give most anyone (myself included) the seat time he has had to perfect his art that his videos could be recreated. He is a marketing genius and knows how to show off, but he lacks racecraft. As a racing enthusiast I would much rather see someone else driving for him and him being the team owner rather than him promoting the douchebaggery he already does.
