A. It's a daily driver, not a fully prepped rally car.

B. It seems that Block can't finish many of his races because of offroad excursions (that, of course, couldn't be the fault of his immaculate driving).

C. Have you ever had a face to face encounter with him? Besides not being the worlds best driver, he has a horrible attitude towards the people that are there to help him out. The people that VOLUNTEER their time to make some of those events happen so he can race there.

All in all, he gets a big FAIL in my book. And that is an informed opinion, not a block-hater-nut-swinging opinion.

The world's best mechanic can't keep a car running after winds up in a ditch.

In 2010 he entered 7 out of 16 WRC events. He crashed in Mexico (18th), Portugal (retired, roll cage damage), France in pre-race testing, Spain (9th), and Great Britain in pre-race testing. He also entered 6 Rally America events in 2010 and only finished 1.
