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.


Very true, what does Block do for a living? How many rally's has he done? Just a show man?

He's got to be doing somethng right, seeing as he is sponsered by DC, rags a rally car round making films and is getting paid for it...

He owns DC that's why  :grin:

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


Loeb Gymkhana anyone?

McRae Zombie Gymkhana?

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