Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race

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.
