Wow. He's got to be one of the best in the world when to comes to this sort of stuff. Shame in he's not great when it comes to real world driving aKa WRC.

Is Kimi not great at driving either?

Different styles different types of driving. Put Kimi in a Gymkhana track and he'll go half the speed knocking down most of the bollards/walls. Put Ken Block on a circuit and Kimi will run rings around him. Both a great drivers but they just have different styles of driving and different strengths and weaknesses.

Bang on mate, for this type of driving Block is the daddy. I found this clip very entertaining even if many if you didn't.

He's basically the Danny Mcaskill of driving...no good at competitive sport but massively gifted in messing around in a manor we all wish we could.

Pah to Block, anybody can do what he does with practice, its what happens on the stages that counts and I wouldnt class him on the same continent as most rally drivers.

As for his machine, that aint no machine, these are machines:

Well, the first one was until it killed him when he hit a wall hard  :cry:. Still, they did build 2 shells and his previous judd engined e36 BMW still exists.......
