i find the gymkhanas impressive, despite the amount of out takes he has, and he certainly isnt the best out of the US, the WRC is a big step for him, and i agree that hes out of ideas

i prefer terry grant, although hes out of ideas as well, but better to watch, terry could probably do the gymkhanas with his eyes closed

despite the amount of out takes he has,

guessing you seen the video were hes trying to do a drift in the corner of one of those oval tracks they have in america with the riased corners and it takes him about ten attempts.

untill i saw that i never noticed but if you look at his videos half the stuff you can see loads of tyre marks from were hes been trying to do it

A lot of people can call him sh!t and say that the video is also sh!t, but he still has made a career out of it.
I can confidently say that a lot of rally drivers would also have many atempts to some of the runs which he does.
I think that the videos are now aimed at everyone as aposed to petrol heads.  He still is a great driver and far better than anyone on this forum!  :grin:  :cool:

Thing is he's great at doing this gymkhana thing, and other stunts, but put him head to head in a rally and he's nowhere as good as people make out he is. Loeb creams all over Block on any surface, day and condition when it comes to raw speed and pace.

Blocks Gymkhana 4 = Do the same things in a different order, change the title and sell it again. Marketing genius.

This one looks like it was a proper Hollywood production which kinda loses the feeling a bit
