he need to stick to gymkhana !!!

 

[Robo_#1]

Yeah I love Ken Block as much as the next petrol head, and the Gymkhana is pretty amazing!

But.... when you look at how many kurbs he hits and how often on these videos he clips the barriers etc. That kind of stuff causes videos like brown bears to happen in proper Rally.

Still an awesome driver, and if I had his money I'd be doing exactly the same

 

[Brown bear]

He has huge talent. But he's not a top flight racer imo.

 

[chappo]

totally agree ^^^^^

huge talent but not quite there yet in the R/C world

 

[Arran]

Ye, he seems to be loosing it a little. When he first got big, doing these kind of things, he was great. Now you can see the mistakes he makes easily and they occur more and more often. He did terrible in the WRC. I suppose people have tallents at different things though. But I think he needs some more practise.

its awesome driving...shame he can't translate that onto a rally stage!! :lol:

 

[Nick.]

WOW! Thats just unreal! :O

 

[luke3]

He has many attempts at it so I've heard! He's average in rallying isn't he?

 

[porsche_gregory]

Skill is amazing, wether it takes afew cuts or not !!

Does a mod want to merge this thread with ...

It just shows how good you have to be to make the step up into top level motorsport. His car control is stunning by most standards, but not WRC standard (yet).

 

[luke3]

Without doubt amazing skill, would love to see what some of the great drivers could do, wonder if formula 1 drivers could drive like that ?

 

[Paul]

Practice makes perfect!

If I did it for 10 years I am sure I would be as good - same with anyone else....

It is still impressive nonetheless! :thumbup:

 

[DanT]

Awesome video tbh.

 

[mark_1873]

Brilliant video but for a truly fast Ford you need to do a search for Andrew Gallacher's 800bhp Cosworth Focus

[Paul]

Don't have to search for it - there happens to be a link in your thread

That is pretty mental! I can't help but think that at that level of BHP you spend your time 50/50 on the throttle and brake though!

some more action in there with it but christ.... those cars look the dogs. I want to visit some time attacks.....

Quality vid. Of course he practices that loads. U can see the tyre marks and knocks on the grass before he gets there!
